Is the battery suppose to discharge itself while plugged in after being charged to 100%? My original one never did that lasted 4 yrs

I would say no. Neither battery I have had ever discharged when plugged in.

I think any battery will discharge after a certain amount of time, that's why a trickle charger is used on larger batteries.

Mine did not do that-maybe the standby protection circuit in your computer is not designed to keep a larger battery "up". Just guessing.ANG

Did you charge the battery for the length of time indicated in the instruction manual prior to use? The first time or two I used mine the battery ran down pretty fast. After recharging it, the battery definitely held a charge longer than it did initially. If it continues to not maintain the charge as long as you think it should, I would contact the manufacturer or return it.

On my phone, I see a black area grown as the battery is used. After recharging the phone will chime letting me know it has a full charge. I make sure the battery is seated properly. I can go in stand-by mode for several days and the battery indicates a full charge.

Must be defective in some way. I would send it back. I haven't had any problems charging mine. It charges fully and I am able to use it without it being plugged in for at least a few hours.

I don't have a definitive answer for that, but I have charged mine many times, and it seems to stop when the charge is complete.

Mine appears to already be fully charged, so I can't tell yet. I'd have to run it down a while, I guess. Does yours not record anymore? I'm also not sure how it indicates when it is in the charging mode. If I learn more I'll get back to you.

I noticed mine will do that if the battery is fully charged. Is it possible that could be the case?

Hi. I started charging mine as soon as I unboxed it. It had some charge to it but not 100%. So far mine is ok but I hope both of us didn't get a refurbished product. Maybe someone else will reply too.

Mine was totally uncharged and I plugged it in and started using .. It was ok .. I dont know about indefinitely but certainly for those 10 minutes, it worked without a hitch.

The same thing happened when I had mine. When I put the battery in my phone it only was at 80% and would never fully charger. That being said I returned it.

I had mine sitting idle for about 6 months and then checked it and it was around a 50% charge. It didn't go dead or anything. And charging it took a couple hours if i remember right. But that was several years ago.

When I first received it, it fully-charged to a reading of about 6 hours. After more than a year of very heavy service, I consistently get a full-charge time of over 4 hours - still more time than the factory-original battery it replaced

I got mine over a year ago and have not had any charging problems. I am on it quite a lot and charge it once a day just as a habit but it would stay charged for hours.

Mine does the same thing. It is charged when I unplug it later. I wish the LED indicator would stay on.

I can't answer this, in my case once I use the charged battery, my charger/battery will not take a new charge, is this a normal problem and should I look for a charger?

It's only solid when it's charged and plugged in but goes out when unplugged. If it works ok, I wouldn't worry about it. If it bothers you, send it in for repair.

Mine doesn't seem to lose its charge when I don't use it. It's been fully charged for 3 weeks with no use and I didn't charge it.
