Battery is not recharging after first install & running down. Power cord tested fine. Indicator stays at '18% plugged in, not charging'. Advice?

Mine never worked at all. My advice would be to do like I did: request a refund, then throw this battery in the garbage and spend a few bucks on an Anker or other decent brand. :-) Seriously, you may want to remove the battery while the computer is plugged in and see if it changes anything on the status display. If it changes, you know the battery is bad, if not, I would suspect a problem with the computer.

Sometimes power cords can be tricky. Try a Friend's power cord or someone else's with the exact same one. I only know because with another laptop I had, It showed plugged in not charging, The laptop suggested that I change the battery so I did only to receive the same message. It wound up being the power cord.Alternately you can try shutting down the PC. Unplug the power cord, remove the battery, Then hold down the power button for 20 seconds.Re-Install the battery then the power supply and power back up.Hope this helps!

This one has been working fine for me, although I get the "nearing the end of it's life" message way too soon. I had your problem with my Dell Latitude work laptop. They tried three different new batteries and none would charge. I tried my home power cord and it still different work. Others (with slightly different models) had no problems. I'd agree with Dennis and try his suggestions, or see if it will charge in someone else's laptop. I went back to my "non-extended" battery and have no problems with it charging.

Sounds like you got a DOA. Over nite should do it. Is the problem with the charger and not the battery?

The battery is severely discharged. You have only about 2 hours or less left of the charge. Connect the Power Supply cable to the Charger/Controller's Power Input Jack.

Your question is really vague. Do you have it plugged in to an electrical outlet via your power cord, as maybe the battery needs to be charged. Sounds like it isn't getting power? Try that and see what happens.

I do not know what the problem might be in your laptop. But if the battery is fully charged & plugged in, it will not charge (since it does not need to). If the battery is not charged and does not charge when plugged in, I would contact the seller.

Try holding the power button down. It should power on after several seconds. This is a feature that prevents the unit from unnecessarily draining the battery by accidentally powering on during transport.

After my first charge began to decrease to one or two bars and I had not used it for a couple of days, I turned it on to check the battery level and it went to a green screen and then to a blank screen. I put it on the charger and got no reaction. Left it on charger for a couple of hours, still just a bland screen. Unplugged it and pushed in the reset button under the battery. Did this a couple of times and finally got the regular power up screen. Have charged battery several times since and all has continued to work well. Hope this helps. Try the reset several times if it doesn't work the first time.

sounds like the battery was not installed properly and is not being charged through the electrical supply. You might want to check the wiring and make sure it is hooked up properly

Supposedly you plug it in. Mine charged once, then never charged again. Good luck....

Try different chargers. If it is all the way exhausted, plug it in and wait 20 minutes or so. Sometimes it doesn't respond for a while, until it has a little bit of charge. Good luck.

I had similar experience. Try ordering a new AC adapter cord too. My battery now holds the full charge and its been 2 months and its still okay.

Charge it first, the power button is on the back. Hold it for three seconds, that should do it.

Have a similar problem-battery says charging but us always 0% and I can not unplug without it turning off. Called Asus-surprise they only warrenty the battery for 6 months. Very frustrating.

Are you sure it's not charging, or is there just no battery icon? Mine laptop lost the battery icon until I charged and used the battery 3 times, then the battery icon appeared. If it really isn't charging, I would send it back.

Mine turned on right away. Try to give it 2 hours of charging. Otherwise you've got a defected one.
