New battery, plugging it in to charge does not show the charging icon. Hour later, still nothing. Do I wait 12 hours, or bad battery?

I want to say bad battery. My battery had a small amount of juice to turn on my phone,

I believe it depends how you have your phone set, check to make sure when the phone is off that you enable the charging icon to appear. Always turn your phone off to let the battery charge the first 3 times, if this doesn't help than I believe you might have a bad battery.

Charge it overnight using the USB cable with the smaller connector plugged into the cube and the USB end plugged into power source. If it still only play for a little bit after charging over night then you may have a defective battery.

When you installed the battery did you allow it to charge for 24 hours before using the APC? (The APC switched off; no load on it.) Go to your instructions for the APC and check for the recommended charge time.

Try charging the battery before buying a new battery. Mine needed replacing because the charge wouldn't last for more than 15min.

You're way beyond the rated charging time of 150 minutes, so my bet is you've fallen afoul of the confusing dual-size charger and are in fact NOT charging the battery AT ALL! Look closely at the fit of the battery when you insert it into charger. You have two choices -- but only one will be truly SNUG. Once you inset charger into an outlet plug, you'll see the light and be on your way.

It's a slow charge so it may take a while, try leaving it for 2 hours then see if the problem exists . If it still don't charge then send it back you may have a defect .I just got may replacement.

Is it possible the battery is not charged? The instructions suggest it is necessary to 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 about three days, then began indicating it should be replaced. The only other possibility would be an incorrect battery? Best regards, Sammy

Well I let it charger like 2 hours .unless that your charger is broke. Try to power it on to see if it work.

If it's a NEW battery, it could be that your charger is defective. Charger cable could have a short.Take it to the store you bought your service from. They should be able to tell you if it's bad.

You may need a new AC adaptor (charger) when I bought my battery I got the same message. It wasn't until I bought a new charger that the battery started to charge. If it is a new battery try getting a new charger, and if the battery is old, it is possible you need a new one.

You can't charge it before you install it. What you need to do is take out out battery, then when you insert new battery, merely leave the computer closed and leave it for 12 hours plugged in. That will charge the battery. Be sure you are not temped to open up the computer and try to do something on it while it is charging.

I would give it another day to charge. After the unit has been fully charged (I think it can take up to 12 hours) it should turn blue. If it doesn't turn blue then change the charging cord and see if that makes a difference.

How long are you letting it charge for? I let it charge for a few hrs the first time, since then I have rarely had to charge it. Try letting it be charged for hrs if you haven't yet...if that fails to make a difference, or if you've already done this, I'd attempt to return the item.

I have a problem, that might be related and I wanted to ask people as well. When I put the battery in the charger (I have two), most of the time, even though the battery is empty, the charger shows green light and does not charge. I have to put the battery in slightly elevated angle and push on it and then it will start charging. So maybe your batteries were not charged at first place. Also happens to me, that the batteries discharge if not in use for 2-3 days, so before use I always recharge.

Plug it in for 24 hours the first time. It doesn't seem to show that it is charged. I have been using it off and on for the past 2 weeks and hasn't been re-charged yet.

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.
