Hi Sharon I really have no idea if that charged will work for that tabletI have had a few tablets I Boughy without chargers a few were pretty obscure brandsI would search for "charger for (the tablet u have)" If that doesn't work I recommend going to radio shack or Fry's and finding a universal charger or ordering a universal say maybe a rocket fish that will come with multiple tips

I had the same problem. The reality is it isn't a very good tablet. You buy a 99 dollar tablet...you get a 99 dollar tablet. I had mine for 5 months and it stopped taking a charge. I learned my lesson.

It didn't take that long to charge my new battery. I would think a few hours would be good. Maybe you got a new battery that was bad?? Hope this helps...

I use it for my cell and tablet and it stays charged for about 3 days to a week depending on use. As for keeping it plugged in, i would for safety just charge it and turn it off. If its not in use, it turns off to not burn the battery out. It is well worth the money. Mine has paid for itself more then once

I charge mine when using it. It just takes longer. If Im going to leave it sit for a bit I usually just turn off the screen. My tablet is 3 years old and I have always done this. I hope this helps you.

I usually charge overnight and the charge will last for 3 or 4 hours, although I am guessing - I haven't really timed it.

You need to get the right charger, if its not charging after a day it might be your tablet

From the tablet low battery warning to full charge is 2hrs and eighteen minutes on my several year old tablet. I assume you are watching the charging light.

4 hours is on the long side. But I would not be concerned, especially on a first charge. If it takes more than six hours I would ask for a return and replacement.

Athough there is no mention of battery life in the supplied Quick Start guide, personally, starting with a full charge, I've used this tablet for approximately six (6) hours before having to recharge. Take into consideration battery life is diminished greatly by watching movies, extended periods of playing music or games. (Although I have watched a movie or TV show in it's entirety (over two hours) with charge to spare. This tablet may also be used while battery is connected and charging. I've experienced little or no inordinate battery drain in download apps. 'Hope this was helpful.

I charged mine for about 4 hours before I used it. The battery loses juice as it sits. So only charge it before you use it.

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.

We charged for 8 hours before the first use. After that, charging only took 2-4 hours.

I bought this tablet for my mom. She had the same issue. We ordered her one and its on its way. At this moment her tablet wont stay tho it says its charged. Hoping the new charger will help.

Hi. I own the same tablet and I don't have too much problems with it. It may have two and a half hrs battery time depending on if your on the internet or not. No internet longer battery time. Maybe the occasional reboot by itself and maybe a bit slow but that's because of the amount of apps I have on it. But no real major problems. I hoped this helped.
