Battery Charge not Held??

Hi i am the owner of a silver ipod mini that i have used only a few times. I bought it about a year ago and have had some trouble with the batteruy with it. I will charge it in the wall or through the port on the side oof my power book G4 and when it says that it it charged i will take eject it and disconnect it. after oding so i try to listen to music but within a minute the message that "you battery is low please charge now" comes up and it will turn off. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions of what to do to help this.
thanks alot
Hunter

Apple states that after about 14 to 28 days of non use, the iPod battery may be fully discharged. You left it for 9 days and lost half the charge (bear in mind that the battery indicator is only an approximate guide).
Seems about normal to me. See this.

iPhone 5 getting really hot and battery charge not lasting very long at all??

Try some of these to save battery time:
Settings>Notifications>[Turn off any notifications you don't need]
Settings>General>Software Update (Make sure you're up to date)
Settings>Brightness & Wallpaper> Auto-Brightness on (And that your brightness is not to the max)
Settings>Privacy>Location Services>Turn off/Stop apps from using it
Settings>Bluetooth>Off
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Fetch New Data>Manually
Settings>Wi-Fi> Off (When you don't need internet when you're out and about)
To stop overheating, note these:
Operating Temperatures: 0° to 35° C (32° to 95° F)
Non-Operating Temperatures: -20° to 45° C (-4° to 113° F)
Hope this helps!

Presario C700 Battery Charged/Not working

I used the HP test utility on my battery: Working and charging 100%. When I unplug the AC adapter the laptop shuts down. I tried to restart without the AC Adapter, but nothing. Nada. No power, even though the test says OK @!#!@#$#@$!@
Any suggestions please. Could this be a battery Jack problem INSIDE the laptop?

Battery Charge not Lasting

I recharge my battery as per the instructions, and then when it is unplugged from my computer, the yellow warning sign flashes "connect to Power" this also can happen even when my Ipod is switched off. Does any one have the same problem, I have thought it maybe a manufacturing problem and I need to return the I Pod?

Hey Claire,
Are you charging the iPod from a PC or from some other accessory, like a sound dock?
Make sure the iPod is directly connected to a powered USB port and not plugged into a keyboard, monitor, or hub.

Battery Charge Not Happening Consistantly With Gingerbread

Ever since the Gingerbread update, my phone has had issues with charging. Under Froyo, this was not a problem.
Here's the deal...
I plug in the device to charge up, it seems to get to 100% and then starts to drain power while plugged in. It will still display as 100% while plugged in, but once I unplug it well after it hits the 100% point, it then shows what the battery actually is at (ex. 67%). You might ask why I don't unplug it when it hits 100%, but some of those times are when I'm sleeping. When I wake up, it says 100%, but when I disconnect it from the charger, it'll really be like 80% and will display that immediately.
One day I had it plugged via USB to my work computer, it showed 100% the entire time. I was listening to streaming radio all day and because I wanted to be sure it would be fully charged at the end of my day, I kept it plugged in. When I unplugged, the battery was really only at 6% and gave me an immediate warning about my critical battery level. Again, this never was a problem before GIngerbread.
I did a battery pull to see if that would right the ship and I initially thought that it had for a day or two, but I just noticed that the issue returned this morning after taking it off the overnight charge and only showed up at 80% upon disconnect. The only thing I can think of that could have thrown it off is that I restarted my phone yesterday -- maybe that brought the problem back?
This isn't really a battery life issue as I've read in other posts. I'm not noticing any problems with how long the charge last. The only problem I'm having is getting it charged to 100% and keeping it that way until I unplug it.
Sorry for the length, but I wanted to be descriptive of the issue. Anyone else have this problem since Gingerbread? Any solutions?

I have seen the 60% issue after it was sitting on the charger, the notification panel had said 100%, but when I finally got around to unplugging the charger it was now 60%...
I have oddly seen a similar activity even when the phone is off and charging.
I am currently not pulling the battery. I do run my battery dead and I mean right up to the phone turns off showing a blinking red box. I turn the phone on again, oddly enough it has enought power to boot up again, wait for at least the media scanning to almost complete, then plug in the AC. I charge it up to 100% if I am around and paying attention. I unplug it from the AC charger. I ask the phone to power down. I wait till I am certain it has powered down, usually 2 minutes. Then I plug in the AC and let it charge up to 100% again.
I have the additional problem that my battery is draining to fast and not lasting as long as I think it should and posted in another topic about this. This problem seems random to me, but could be related to the fact I am not really getting that 100% charge I thought I got.
I also believe my phone is not trickle charging after it hits that 100%. Maybe this was to extend batter life in years, but maybe it should monitor the battery and if it goes down 5 or 10% charge it back up to 100% instead of letting it drain. I have a habit of leaving my phone charge overnight, because I expect to get up the next day and use it for at least 8+ hours...
I have completed several factory resets at this time trying to narrow down if I have a bad app or bad update. So far this last test shows that even after factory reset, not visiting the market or installing any apps, the problem still exists for me. I have noticed a small issue with my factory reset that leads me to believe I might not be getting a full wipe as I would expect.

Tungsten E2 battery charge not retaining.

My Tungsten E2 is about 2 years old. After charging the Palm battery life symbol indicates full charge. However within 10 minutes a low battery message is indicated and the battery symbol shows empty charge. Pse advise. Thanks in advance.Suresh
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

If you have been a moderate to heavy user for two years, the battery is probably nearing the end of its useful life as LiOn batteries have a finite number of charge cycles.
Replacement batteries can be had from pdaparts.com and usedpdaparts.com. The first site has takeapart directions to do this yourself and the E2 battery plugs in (rather than soldering on other models).

Battery charge not 100%

I am using z10 past one month. few days back I got notification about software update 10.2.1.2941(92 mb) updated the same ,my problem is like when I charge the battery it becomes 100% after that battery showed 82% and my phone goes switch off every time ,if I repeat the charging process it's started from 82% .should I wipe the phone????
Subject Title edited to reflect new topic.

Remove the battery for 90 minutes. that will reset the battery meter. You may need to try it a couple of times. If that still doesn't work then replace the battery.

Battery charge not recognized

My ipod's battery will be fully charged and then 40 minutes later it will shut off and when I try to turn it back on it says low battery.
Sometimes if I wait a while, I can turn the ipod back on and the battery will show a full charge and work just fine for another hour or so.
I've reset, updated and restored.
I think the battery is holding the charge because when I plug in the ipod to recharge, it only takes a few minutes to get to full power... It seems like the ipod just doesn't know that it has battery power.
Is anyone else having this problem?

yes, i do have the same problem. With different time intervals though.
I think our batteries are broken. The only solution would be a battery replacement, which is free if you bought your iPod less than a year ago.

Battery charger not working

I have a pavilion dv6 entertainment pc the model says it is a 1007TX, I have owned the laptop for nearly 2 years now and have had atleast 3 chargers for it. My fourth one has just stopped being recognized by the laptop. I have tried replacing the battery also to solve the problem all the cables seem in tact and there is power coming from the wall. Why does this problem keep occurring? Any advice on how to fix or prevent it is more then welcome, Thankyou

Hello Krisrrll,
You stated that the only time the computer will notice the AC adapter is when you plug in it prior to turning the computer on, is that accurate? I will do what I can to help you resolve this issue.
You have already mentioned flashing the bios, if you can confirm what is your current version that you have installed?

Satellite A100- New or Old Battery is not charging

Hi,
I have a Satellite A100-543 (PSAARE).
The original battery was not charging so I purchased a new one. Now the new one is not charging either. I then ordered a new charger before coming to this forum so Ill test that when it arrives but I think the problem will not be solved.
With the new Battery the Icon says "10% Usable, connected, charging". The Icon, when the laptop is first switched on, shows the charge bar moving (charging) but after a few moments stops.
With the old Battery the Icon says " connected, charging". It shows empty.
In both cases the Battery Green LED is on.
If I pull out the charger from the laptop the computer stops immediately.
Trawling the forums I see one proposed solution is a BIOS upgrade. I have BIOS version 5.80
See: http://www.laptoprepair101.com/laptop/2006/05/23/toshiba-satellite-a105-battery-charging-problem/comment-page-19/#comment-151154
However I cannot find my model (as above) on Toshiba's list! It was purchased in France and is out of warranty.
Again I am dubious than this will solve the problem.
Others point to the motherboard. How can I know this? If it is does anybody have an idea of cost?
I do hope that someone can help.
Henry

I'm not going to immediately help but I think I have the same problem on my A200 Equium model 1V0, running Vista.
Existing battery has gone down to 5% power and of course I get warnings so I run on mains but I can run the laptop on the battery for a few minutes.
The charging light comes on for about 9 seconds and then goes out. The charging status changes from "on mains power, charging 5%" to "on mains power, not charging".
It's odd that I can flip the battery out while the mains is attached and when I re-insert it, there's a charging light and charging status is ok for 9 seconds. If I do this often enough I can boost the battery to 10% but then the charging light only flickers on for a moment and there's no further actual charging. I think the main board charging circuit can't handle any more than a small feedback charge.
I bought a new battery - the laptop won't run on this without mains power (in fact the charging light now only appears for a moment and no charging at all takes place).
I uninstalled and re-installed the power ACPI from device manager - no change.
I turned off laptop, removed battery and mains power and held down the power button for 15 seconds - no change.
I checked my mains adapter using a circuit tester - OK.
Oh, and I updated the BIOS to the latest version 2.5 - no change.
It looks like the main board charging circuit has a fault which is uneconomical to repair.
Unless someone out there knows differently??

Battery will not charge, but problem is not battery or ac directly

So I have an HP Pavilion dv7t-7000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC. I have had it for almost 2 years without any serious problems. I use my laptop to play games on steam and have not had any overheating problems before. Yesterday, I had been playing a game for maybe 10 minutes and the computer shut off. I assumed this was an overheating issue, but I could not turn the computer back on. Pressing the power button made no lights come on, there was no light for the ac led being plugged in, nothing. I took the battery out and unplugged everything and held the power button for 30 seconds and nothing happened. Eventually, I got the ac led light to come on by plugging it in without the battery in the computer.
So now my problem is that I cannot charge the battery. I can only get the computer to recognize the ac adapter when the battery is not in. However, if I plug in the ac adapter and then put in the battery, it says it is charging. However, it isn't actually charging. It just stays at the current percentage. If I unplug the ac adapter while the battery is in and then try to plug it back in, the computer will not recognize that the ac is plugged in. I have to turn off the computer, take out the battery, and plug in the ac adapter again. Sometimes it doesn't work the first time either. I have to turn off and on the power strip that I plug it into. I tried it on another outlet and it worked that way, but I still had the same problem with the battery.
I also have tried to see if the problem is the ac adapter by plugging it in to a different laptop. The other laptop recognized it immediately with the battery still in. I also plugged in a different ac adapter to my computer and it recognized it with my battery still in (it's from an older laptop though so it does not have enough power to charge my battery, so I can't just use that one).
So the ac adapter apparently works fine. It seems like the problem is with my computer. The battery is also fine. I ran the system tests, it doesn't need to be calliberated either. I thought maybe I needed a BIOS update or there was some problem with a driver, but I don't see how that has to do with the ac adapter. Does anyone have any ideas? I would really appreciate it as I need this laptop for school so it needs to be portable with a charged battery.

Hello angiesezrawr, welcome to the HP Forums.
It appears that you have a power issue with the notebook in relation to the battery. I will try to help you with this.
Based on the troubleshooting you've tried, the issue appears to be hardware related. Something internal related to the AC power socket and the battery.
For this I would suggest contacting support for further assistance.

New Battery does NOT hold Charge

I just received my new battery from the Battery Exchange Program - the battery is actually worse than my original, it is still HOT, and holds a charge for about 20 minutes - maybe 30 at the most - ?
What do I do? Does anyone else have this problem??
thanks, Mark

My replacement battery did not even last one calibration cycle, as it never held a charge again at all.
Here is a link to another thread. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=678318&tstart=0
Both of ours were replaced for a very similar issue, so it may be worth a try to give AppleCare a call.
If you already sent the recalled battery back, get a case I.D. from AppleCare for the defective replacement battery. If possible, ask someone at your local Apple store if they have any in stock instead of waiting for Apple to expidite one to you. Apple retail staff are able to expidite the exchage at the store level, but you must have a case I.D., since it is not the recalled battery they are replacing. I only suggest this route, because there is an estimated four to six week wait for replacement replacement batteries; however, it only took a little over three weeks for mine to ship.
I hope this reply helps provide some direction!

Charge the phone for 15 minutes with the Apple charger. Then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears.

Hi! I'm just having a little trouble when it comes to battery charging of my iPhone 5 with its new iOS 7! It doesn't indicates that the battery is fully charge unlike the old version of iOS! I already read some reviews and discussion about this. They said that the lightning bolt should pulsate when charging but it's not!

Thanks for the replies. It took a while not hearing anything so thought I was alone. I have done many of the suggestions already. The key here is that it occurs on both phones with apps, and phones still packaged in a box.
A Genius Bar supervisor also checked his Verizon data usage log and found the same 6 hour incremental use. Suprisingly, he did not express much intrigue over that. Maybe he did, but did not show it.
I think the 6 hour incremental usage is the main issue here. I spoke with Verizon (again) and they confirmed that all they do is log exactly when the phone connected to the tower and used data. The time it records is when the usage started. I also found out that the time recorded is GMT.
What is using data, unsolicited, every 6 hours?
Why does it change?
Why does it only happen on the iPhone 5 series and not the 4?
Since no one from Apple seems to be chiming in on this, and I have not received the promised calls from Apple tech support that the Genius Bar staff said I was suppose to receive, it is starting to feel like something is being swept under the rug.
I woke up the other day with another thought ... What application would use such large amounts of data? Well ... music, video, sound and pictures of course. Well ... what would someone set automatically that is of any use to them? hmmm ... video, pictures, sound. Is the iPhone 5 succeptible to snooping? Can an app be buried in the IOS that automatically turns on video and sound recording, and send it somewhere ... every 6 hours? Chilling. I noted that the smallest data usage is during the night when nothing is going on, then it peaks during the day. The Genius Bar tech and I looked at each other when I drew this sine wave graph on the log print outs during an appointment ...
