I just received two batteries for the Galaxy S.They will not charge. I paid for NEW batteries, not refurbished or used. Why will they not charge?

The problem could be with the charger and not the battery. That is a possibility

I use straight talk Samsung galaxy s2 and do not charge these batteries with phone. I use charger provided with these batteries and they make my phone work well. Don't know for sure if thats same with your phone.

I would immediately send it back. It has to be defective. My two batteries work just fine. They take the charge and hold it until you are ready to use them. Sorry to hear you had trouble. These are hi-tech units and I do suppose that they are a little temperamental.

First use NEW batteries. I thought my so-called NEW batteries were fresh and up to charge. They were not! Get a battery tester. Once I had batteries that had a full charge It started without having to do it manually. I do not manually do it any different than the other six answers in any major aspect. I had to start it manually until I realized that I had new batteries that did not have a full charge. Now it works fine without having to resort to manual operation.

This is the same problem I had with on the new ones I received. The original battery I received with the LINX lasted a year, however with the brand new ones both failed with charging.

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

Sounds faulty to me. It has been a while since I bought my replacement battery and cannot recall if I had to charge it prior to use. All I know is that mine works great. Never have had a problem.

It either needs a lot of charging, or they sent you the wrong battery. I bought a "NEW" battery and they sent me a used one. I complained and they sent me another used battery. I never got a new battery like they described in the ad. The seller is probably just some c.u.n.t that works at a cell store and gets the batteries for free. That's why they can sell them for less than $5. They are all used batteries.

That is not my experience; I have 3 and the batteries have all been in since the end of April and they are fine. Last year I left them out until Oct. and tested the batteries when I took them in and they still showed a good charge. I would call customer service, they are very good and usually will replace a product on your word and provide a prepaid return label.Les L

You could have the wrong charger.I had the galaxy s2 from tmobile and mine went in there perfectly.The battery should be turned backwards in the cradle you shouldn't be able to see the the sticker.Keep in mind that the points should be on your negative and positive points on your battery.I hope this helps.

I bought mine on ebay. You can also find them on amazon also. I found out also that you need, from time to time, unplug the battery from the phone; wait 30 seconds plug it back in and put back on the charger. it will charge them again. if not, you need new batteries.

I bought an extra batt from Amazon as well and both batteries, the one that came with the phone (tmob s3) and the recently purchased one work ok. I think the newer battery is flaky. It only shows about 80% after charging overnight. Doesn't say that there's circuitry in the charger to prevent overcharging, but it does take a looong time to charge. IMO the slow charging cycle extends the life of the battery. There's a battery charge indicator light that shows RED when charging and BLUE when the battery is fully charged. Hope that helps.

The original batteries installed with the phones were not holding a charge. Have hadno issues with these batteries at all (so far). Actually ordered more for a friend.She was frustrated and was going to buy new phones, and I told her I would order moreof these replacement batteries because they worked for me. Upon receipt, and installation,she has been completely satisfied, also. Hope this helps. Of course, you have to putthem on the base chargers from time to time to keep them fully charged...

I don't know about your particular problem but I received a bad battery. The phone would show 5% and charging and after a few minutes would say it was fully charged but the phone would not boot up. I returned the bad battery and ordered another one from the same vendor. The new battery worked fine. Not sure if this is any help but wanted to share my experience.

My battery did not charge properly from the beginning, but failed to contact company before warranty expired, which was my error. They sent a link for a replacement battery but the cost with shipping is over half the price of the unit. Since the unit did not charge ever charge properly, I am hesitant to throw good money after bad, with the "hope" that the battery is the only problem. The other brand I purchased at the time worked beautifully from the start and is still going strong. If anyone has a link for a replacement battery with reasonable shipping charges, I would be interested. Otherwise, will toss this and buy another brand that works from the start and continues working. Thank you.
