The battery comes partially charged. It is best to fully charge the battery before using it. Once fully charged, unplug the battery from the charger and use the laptop on battery power only. Do not let the battery fully drain, but rather charge the battery to full once it is down to 15-20%. Do this for a few cycles and your battery will be properly conditioned.

I had the same problem with my G55 Asus this happens if you leave the laptop connected to the wall outlet for a long time. customer support told me to drain the battery power down to 0 and to charge it again. That fixed my problem. I hope this helps

Put the battery into the laptop and make sure the power is on. The battery will charge (you should see some indication of this via notification lights on your laptop or, if the computer is turned on, on the desktop screen.) This will indicate that the battery is charging. Once fully charged, you can move to the discharge step. To discharge the battery, turn the AC power (not the computer) off. The computer should continue to run (using the battery only) and you should be able to continue running programs. The on screen battery indicator will show you that the battery is losing it's charge. A full discharge could take 2 - 4 hours or more, depending on how the power use is configured on your system. Once you are nearing the depletion of the battery charge, Windows will put a warning on your screen to turn power back on. If you don't do this, Windows will save the work you are doing and shut down the machine. After a complete discharge, you have to turn the AC power back on for your machine to operate. The computer will be operational and the battery will begin to be recharged at that point.

I've had problems with the indicator lights since I first got the unit, but if I just leave it plugged in, the battery does charge. I'm an insurance agent and would go through two batteries a day, so it's important to be able to charge one externally overnight while the other charged in the laptop. Other than the lights and the less-than-secure attachment, I've had no problems over the many months I've had this.

I am sorry that your battery doesn't charge, it could be your battery charger. Get a 12 volt meter and check the charger and if the charger is not working then replace the charger. If the battery is the problem ask amazon what to do. I have not had a problem charging mine but it does take awhile to charge.

I'm not typical...I use my laptop only occasionally and it stays plugged in most of the time. However, I did test the battery when it arrived and I got about 4 hours out it with light usage.

I'm not sure. I would check the voltage coming out of the adapter plug with a VOM meter to see if the problem is the charger or the computer/battery.

What charger are you speaking of? Yes plug your laptop into a electrical outlet to charge battery. There is no charger needed.

Well...it could be your battery. Try using the plug after removing the battery from it and if the laptop comes on, its definitely your battery!!

The battery is not being charged so it can power everything that is plugged into the UPS unit. Anything plugged into the 'Battery Backup + Surge Protection' outlets is constantly drawing power from the battery. Problem causes: 1) Electronic device(s) plugged into the UPS is/are drawing so much power that the battery doesn't have a chance to charge up. 2) The circuit board controlling the charging of the battery is faulty and not sending power to the battery for charging.

I've had this problem many times with my Toshiba, when the battery runs all the way down or changing the battery you have to restart and go into the bios, when in there, load default settings, then restart and it should be charging again

Connie,It sounds like the voltage on the battery is too low to charge. Has this battery every worked in this system before and is your charger plugged in and working ? Make sure you check the outlet that the charge is plugged into to confirm that it's getting the 110v it needs to charge the battery. Here is a good article to help you with your problem - best of luck to you. http://www.batterystuff.com/kb/articles/battery-articles/troubleshooting-a-battery.htmlRegards,Ken

I must be plugged into your laptop and your laptop must be on to work. If you tried that then it may be a faulty one and your may have to send it back for a new one.

Yes, put the battery in the laptop and plug in the laptop to an electrical outlet. Laptop does not have to be on for the battery to charge.

If the light on the front is off, then it is not charging. Check your power cord.

Make sure the prongs aren't broken, or try unplugging the charger from the wall then put the battery in and connect it back to the wall. You might need to unplug/plug it in the wall everytime you need to charge your battery. Had the same problem
