I would like to know myself..When my battery arrived it wasn't even charged...Charged it for over 24 hours before my screen would even come up, so I could log on! Then the battery went dead again! If I have to keep charging it for 24 hours, each time I need to use my laptop, my only alternative is to send it bk, request a refund and purchase from the store I bought from, before this! This product is anything but Superior Choice!!

Is it possible the battery is not charged? The instructions suggest it is necessaryto discharge fully then recharge. It may be it came discharged, and must be on charge to be recognized, I bought an inexpensive battery and it lasted aboutthree days, then began indicating it should be replaced. The only other possibilitywould be an incorrect battery?Best regards,Sammy

Ha...I guess the one down side...I get about two hours on max performance. I have been thinking about getting a better battery for the laptop (4 hour type or more). However, I need to add my purchase was more for a portable desktop than a mobile computer (tablet, etc...) so it stays plugged in about 85% of the time.

on a full charge, my battery - the original that came with the computer, lasts 2-4 days. But I shut mine down at night, so it's not running 24/7. But it is on when I'm working.

BEFORE USE, let it charge all the way to get maximum efficiency. I charged mine for 8 hours to get a full charge. One must be patient to reap the rewards.

I myself only had to charge my battery abt an hour to fully charge it. You might have received a bad battery. But try the 24 hour charge before returning it.

I'd start with a new battery....and since it has a memory you will need to let it run all the down in order to get a full charge and then leave on the charger about 3 hours maximum time.

I bought Anker battery recently , as well. Until this morning ±I had no experience with lenth of use. Unfortunately I noticed that within 2 hours the battery ws empty. That should not be normal. Jaap

I also agree with Andrew. I bought this battery and simply installed it and it has worked fine ever since (more than 3 months now). I went from about 6 hours per day of life to now about 12 under normal use.

Mine was nearly fully charged when I received it. I have not run the battery completely dead during any single use yet, so I can't be certain. I would guess it should fully charge within an hour.

Here is an email I got from Hyperion about Charge/Discharge...: Paste Thanks for the inquiry! Our recommendation is that you perform 4-5 cycles of charge/discharge/recharge. Charge the battery before the first use and make sure that you charge up to 12 hours for the first few charges. Do NOT fully deplete to zero but go down to anywhere between 5 and 20%. This is known as the break-in period of the battery and optimizes the battery as well has helps some phones to get "used to" operating with a higher mAh battery. In your case, your phone is used to the battery size, but we find these cycles to be helpful to the battery, it being especially important to reach that 100% charge, and mindful not to go below 5-20% when discharging. Hope that helps! Be sure to let me know if you need further assistance. Have a good day, Christine Hyperion EA

This is not right.The battery for this computer most can used about 5 to 6 hours.Your battery is bad and need to be replaced or return the computer.

I would recommend you contact the seller. They are really quick at replying. Great battery but I followed the charging instructions to a tee.

It could be a bad battery. If it is a bad battery, you can call customer support, and they will send you a new one. They were very pleasant when I spoke with them about a battery issue not holding a charge. At the time, the customer service person told me that new batteries should be charged for at least 24 hours in order to keep a full charge. He also told me if the battery didn't work, that they would send me a new one.

It takes about 4-5 hours from total depletion, but I'm not there monitoring it. It is recommended to charge only when depleted. Some folks leave it plugged in all the time which is not recommended.

Yeah that's normal. Charge it overnight. That's actually a good sign. A slow charge is better. Same with mine. 6-8 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.
