Why won't the battery charge to 100%? It only charges to 75%. It only gives me 2 hrs. of charged time, not the 4 hrs. I should get.

I have not had an issue with the battery not charging to 100%, but it definitely does not seem to stay charged as long as the original battery that came with my laptop even though it says it is a genuine Samsung product.

This is a follow up to my previous post, I was not aware of the life extender setting which needed to be changed to obtain 100% charge. I did that and it seems it is charging at this time.

Your Battery Life Extender setting might be on. If it is, the battery charges only to 80%. You can check that by going to start menu--&gt;all programs---&gt;samsung---&gt;easy settings---&gt;general

I bought mine almost 1 year ago and it still works great, the charge lasts forever. You must of got a defective one, I would return it for another one.

yes, I noticed mine does the same... when I first purchased this batt. for a while it would charge up to 100%, now it only goes to 95%. I charge with ac wall plug to camcorder and it shows now only 399min. When before it would be over 400min. There is no big deal with this cause I still have plenty of batt. power & have 2 extra 2hr. batt. for backup.

I think I only charged mine for a couple of hours, and the charge lasts quite a long time.

Mine is working extremely well. I've never timed it, but I have a 1/2 acre and a lot of leaves. I can clean up all my leaves and not run out of time. The next time I'll get half way through and let it die and then charge it. I haven't watched how long it takes to charge either, I tend to put it in the charger and leave it all night. You can find that information on the Battery Purchasing site, I think it said 4 hours.

I've never had it take more than 3 hours from completely empty, but it depends on what you're charging it with. As for how long it holds the charge, mine has held a charge for a couple weeks and any loss in capacity was not apparent to me. It may hold it longer than that, but I have used it so frequently that it has never been left alone longer than that. Make sure you charge it fully before first use, the longer the better for that. I believe the other answer was either a defective product or not fully charged the first time, because of how fast they lose the charge and how short their charging time is.

Let it go completely go dead, then charge it overnight/all day until fully charged. After that, try not to let it die out if you can. But mine lasts for two or three hours at a time. Also check what programs you are using...that may be draining your battery as well. Hope this helps.

I have a problem, that might be related and I wanted to ask people as well. When I put the battery in the charger (I have two), most of the time, even though the battery is empty, the charger shows green light and does not charge. I have to put the battery in slightly elevated angle and push on it and then it will start charging. So maybe your batteries were not charged at first place. Also happens to me, that the batteries discharge if not in use for 2-3 days, so before use I always recharge.

How old is the battery? Are you allowing the battery to get a full charge? It could could also be that your battery has a couple dead cells.

Mine was working great after few hours charging. After a year and half, it did not charge like yours. I used to buy used one and used every week, so I gues it died. I used for long and good. But if it is new, then you need refund it

Hi. It takes a long time for the battery to charge. It seems like it's an overnight thing. I thought it was only for the first charge, but it's every time you charge it. Other than that, I like the product very much.

? i use it to there is no charge left in it , then recharge , that takes about 5 hrs to charge , thats why i bought 2 of them , they can run the unit for about an hr , as with all my battery operated tools , i let the battery run out , then completely recharge them , you may have a defective battery , if you get a new 1 , dont try using it , till its completly charged , 5 hours , then use every bit of power left on it before recharging , battery's have memories

I tried it on mine & in 2 1/2 hours, it only charged 2%(starting at 53%). I was not happy! Had to use a "generic" charger to get my phone charged. Disappointed.

I Don't know. Mine fully charges fine. Could be a bad charger or battery. Contact the seller.

You don't really know when it's fully charged. I still don't. I just charge it whenever I can for as long as I can. I've come to realize that if it isn fully charged, it will not charge your phone. It will just hold your battery in the same place for a few minutes longer but it will still go down.

I never have mine say full 100%, even after charging 6 hours. But I still get at least 5 hours out of the batteries. My camera does show all four bars full though until about 75% drained then it goes down to 3 bars.
