Why does it say plugged in not charging at 80%?

Try to take out the battery and turn on the laptop without the battery, when the computer is on turn off and put the battery again.

Fast charging is enabled in the BIOS. Disable it to get the laptop to charge to 100%.

Make sure your charging cord is plugged in to AC and not a USB port. If you do plug it in with USB it'll attempt to set up a connection with the PC or laptop, which is a good thing actually, but it won't charge.

I think it has to do with the mAh output. It does the same to me. If I plug it in at night it will be at 100% by the morning. But if its going dead and I'm on it, instead of charging when I plug it up like it would with the original samsung cord, it will die! So like I said it has a lot to do it the output of the charge. Hope I could help.

The same thing happened when I had mine. When I put the battery in my phone it only was at 80% and would never fully charger. That being said I returned it.

bummer. are you sure the electrical outlet you've plugged the charger into is working ok?

Make sure its fully charged. I only figures this out after testing it out and seeing very short videos of the test. I know there has been some complaints of malfunctioning, but mine works fine.

It has not allowed me to charge at all, while anything else is plugged into it.

Hi. I started charging mine as soon as I unboxed it. It had some charge to it but not 100%. So far mine is ok but I hope both of us didn't get a refurbished product. Maybe someone else will reply too.

Ansgar - I am sorry but I don't really know. When it arrived it was nearly fully charged. Since then I have usually just plugged it in every once in a while. I'll try to really run it down and they take note and try to pass the info on. Sorry I could not have been of more help.----M

I always plug it into a wall charger to charge it, so I'm not sure if that makes a difference. However, you would think the charging light would come on either way, so it may very well be defective.

I got a similar unit recently and when I plugged it in, it too showed 100% charged. However, I unplugged the charger and checked the battery voltage which instantly dropped to under 6V. So that told me that the battery wasn't accepting a charge and the "100%" reading was coming from the charger just while plugged in. So I left it plugged in and after an hour it did start accepting a charge and the reading dropped to 60% or such. So it does take at least 12 hours, after that if it starts displaying 100% it probably is charged.

Did you make sure everything was plugged in well. Sometimes putting the cord onto the power source is a little hard and if it was on all the way then I would say something is wrong because within the 24 hours mine was fully charged.

Must be a problem. Try disconnecting the unit and pressing the charge % indicator button. A digital display should light up and advise the % of charge. If it is 99-100% you should be good to go. Turn the unit off and wait for the opportunity to amaze yourself and others with the power of your "toy".

Are you sure the plug is all the way inserted. Could be the charger is defective. Bring it into Radio Shack and have it tested.

Mine charges right up. I have to remember to unplug it when it's done however, and that is a tad bothersome.

Im not sure. Try turning it on and letting it charge up. Maybe it needed the day to charge. Both mine work.

Its probably charging. I believe you have to allow it to charge for quite some time before you can really use it.
