how to fully charge and used the 1600m battery

After I installed the new battery, it already had a charge (I don't remember how much) but it was sufficient to work for a day or so. Then I just put the phone on a charger and it worked fine. I noted that I actually got LONGER battery life from the replacement than I ever had with the original - but that's because it has more mAmp hour storage. So if your battery does not charge up after install, I suspect there may be another issue with the way it was put in.

we were able charge it to 100% and use it for 1 or 2 days. We used the phone only for 2 months till we could upgrade to new phone. Phone did got reset one or two times, which use to happen very often on an hourly basis before changing to this battery. My take is there is no perfect battery unless you send it to apple. For this price it is worth the gamble.

Well i suggest installing the battery and letting it charge for 24 hours and then use the phone like normal. But never leave the pone charging over night it well overcharge the battery and you'll have a lot of power problems.

After i change the battery my phone will automatically jump from 15% battery to 1% battery and turns off! So i want to know how to use the remaining 15% battery!

I have the exact same problem. I contacted the vendor about it but I have not recieved a reply. When the battery is 100% full it runs fine but when charging, it's almost unusable.

Lithium ion cells dont have memory like nicds. No need to drain then fully charge. Use it as you want straight out of the box

The 1800mAh battery does indeed have a charge port built into it, the 1600mAh does not. Both battery packs are Lithium-Ion technology, which means you probably do not have any means of using the charge port anyway. Just charge it in your regular desktop charger - for safety! There are automotive 12volt adapters to allow you to use the desktop charger in your vehicle, or you can buy a cigarette lighter adapter which replaces the battery pack for mobile use. Lithium-Ion cells are charged by pulse-reflex method, NOT constant current/voltage! This is done to prevent over heating and possible cell explosions. Be safe!

Where the batteries are if you look on the bottom there is a piece of rubber that keeps moisture out of the charging port. Just pop it out and plug in there. If you're looking at the back. Should be bottom right corner.

1st -- I suggest that you attach the battery terminals first (make sure of the color coding: red to red, black to black)2nd -- select the setting you wish (low amps for slow overnight charge; higher amps for 1-2 hour charge; start for highest amps).3rd -- plug in the charger to your power source.The meter and the lights will tell you when you have a full charge.

I let it charge for a few hours before I plugged in the equipment. Also I would make sure the connections on the battery are good.

Just insert the batteries into the charger OBSERVING PROPER POLARITY (battery + to charger +) and wait until the charger LED goes from red to yellow to green. When the charger LED is green, the battery is fully charged.

I got a similar unit and when I first plugged it in, it too showed "fully charged". I then unplugged it and checked the battery level, but it instantly showed 0V. So that told me the "full charge" reading was false and the charger was giving me that reading while the battery seemed like an "open circuit" and was not accepting power yet. So I did leave it plugged in and within 1/2 hour it began dropping the reading to show 65% charged or such which I knew was more realistic. So despite getting that "full charge" reading off the bat, it does need the charge time.

Plug in the charger first, then attach the battery to the charger. The light on the charger will blink until fully charged about 4+ hrs. When light on charger is on & no more blinking the battery is fully charged

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

Thanks everyone. However, I KNEW I where to press to turn it on. My problem was I charged it for 16 hours and when I pressed the button it did NOTHING. I messed around with it and then took the chance on charging it for about 12 more hours. I put it on the charger and smashed it in real hard and now I think it's working. Maybe I didn't have it fully in the charger. It seems weird that it just sits in there with no connection port. We'll see. I appreciate everyone taking the time to try and help. Happy Holidays.

The mine was semi_charged. To fully charge use a micro usb cable and connect to a 1000 mAh USB power supply

Take it out of the charger and put it back in. It's just the indicator light on the charger. If you put it in the phone it should show up as fully charged. I charge my OEM battery in the wall charger all the time without any trouble.

U charge it like your phone. U connect it to a USB cable and wall adapter and wait for it to charge. Takes long to charge if its complely dead

I would charge the battery first. I believe those are the instructions anyway. In fact, I believe there are specific charging procedures initially to get the best life out of the battery. If you continue to experience issues, I would contact the vendor/manufacturer.
