Why won't it take a charge?
385764
I had this battery for about 4 months now but only used maybe 5 times during that term. The first 3 times that I used it I noticed it wouldn't either hold a charge, or that I wasn't charging correctly, or it just wasn't compatible with my Nixon 5300 camera. Well, last week I charged and used it at my son's basketball game and it worked fine. This was first time that I've used in past 2 months. After completely charging this battery I placed it in my camera. The screen on my camera had shown it was in the green 100% charge when 2 months ago it started out in the red (less than 20%). I didn't do anything different with the charging process. It just somehow seems to work now.

My original battery started doing this same thing occasionally when it started going bad. If your remove and put back the battery while the computer is still plugged in, then it should start charging. I watch for the charge light on the front to come on. Might take 2 or 3 tries. Hope it helps.

Your actually doing better than me. I couldn't get it to take a charge. I returned mine and purchased a mini model which works great

Try this: shut down your laptop. Remove the battery then hold the power button for at least 10 seconds. Put the battery in again restart and see if it charges. If not, return it.

Fortunately I have not had this problem. I would suggest attaching it to the charger one more time to see if you can get it to charge. Otherwise I would return it for an exchange. I bought an extra battery and have had no problems with the charging of either one.

I also have this issue, doesn't yours charge? Or does it just die and not recharge?

Sorry I can not help you. I recently bought it and had to return it because mine wouldn't charge at all.

Make sure you are charging from the right port. If that's correct. .make sure it's charged for 24 hrs. ..If not successful. .its faulty. ..assuming that your charging a device has a good battery and the voltage is correct

Whoever posted the first answer, original poster did say the battery is depleted. Pay attention.To the OP: perhaps your battery is too small to be charged with a larger current.

Check the charging light is on, if it is you may have got a dud! It should work

I have not had that problem, yet! Sometimes a battery will not receive a charge. I would buy a new battery for a cure>

Try different chargers. If it is all the way exhausted, plug it in and wait 20 minutes or so. Sometimes it doesn't respond for a while, until it has a little bit of charge. Good luck.

My guess would be the battery. From my experience the charger either charges or it doesn't. The battery on the other hand can degrade and lose the ability to charge

It may be defective, or needs to be recharged; assuming it's the correct model number, and if it's installed properly. I would double check the model number of the battery, make sure the battery connections are clean, and make sure the battery is installed in the laptop properly. Once installed, make sure the battery gets a good maybe 12 hour charge. Then check to see if the battery works. Good luck.

Make sure it's fully charged and use the on off switch opposite side of where you charge it. I hope this helps.
