I would like a confirmation it's PA3819U-1 BRS PABA S230 & Wh98? How long does it take to charge? Do u charge initially with computer on or off? Thx

It powers up quickly - I charged it initially with the computer off. It's working really well

Everybody's situation may be a little different. I use mine daily for work, run it down to about 50 minutes or so remaining then plug it back in to recharge. Mine takes about 3 1/2 to 4 hours to return to fully charged state regardless if I still use it while recharging or shut it down. I always leave it plugged in overnight anyway.

I am a bit confused by the question as well as the one response received on 1/10 from Patricia Boyd. There are two different batteries involved here. One is # PA3817U-1BRS (rated by Toshiba on its web site as 48Wh). The other is # PA3818U-1BRS (rated by Toshiba on its web site as 61Wh). I ordered the latter of the two batteries but was shipped the former and when I complained I was told that the two batteries were the same - this is SIMPLY NOT TRUE! After way too much back and forth I finally was able to return the battery for a refund which took about two months to actually happen. The higher Wh means that the battery should hold a charge better than the one with the lower Wh designation. Jane C.

So sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. A lot going on in my life right now. As to your question, not very long! I can't recall actual amount of time when it was working, but now I can't get it to charge at all & this is the 2nd one I've purchased with the same problem. They work for a few months and then I have to put 8 D-cell batteries into it and then it runs for quite a while. So I do like the fan and the batteries last a very long time, but the charging problem is a bit frustrating. I hope that helps you. Terry

Well it's difficult to say, It's only been 2 months since I've had it. And it still works now. My only issue with it is that once in a while it occurs when it wont charge even when it's plugged in. But because I'm a buffer in computers I can fix that issue. all I can say is that it's better than my old battery cause I basically had to have it plugged in. with this battery I dont... Did that answer your question? sorry if it didnt.

On mine, a red light comes on when you plug it into computer and goes off when charged. Don't know how long for charging.

No idea what you are asking. Mine was charged when I received it. I used it for my security alarm system and it worked out of the box

i think the first time to charge was 2 hours, but we don't use it everyday, only every 4 weeks( i got it for my son who is in the Army)so it seems to last a long time. love the convenience of charging in the computer!

I'm having the same experience as @JustMe. I bought this as replacement for my Toshiba, and initial it seemed to be just fine. But after using the battery for a while it does not hold a charge very well. I charge the battery to it's fullest, but it seems to drain very quickly. Like JustMe said, I almost always have to have the laptop plugged into AC in order to use it for more than 5 minutes. I'd suggest looking for a better replacement battery that will actually hold a charge for more than a few minutes.

Sorry for the late response. it's supposed to be, but it would not charge. I returned it and got the Lenmar brand instead. Apparently, according to Lenmar, you have to update the bios. Which I did. Battery works perfectly.

I generally charge it for about ten to fifteen minutes and work a full time job and it's never really died on me...If I get up to leave the computer I'll usually just hook it up and when I come back unplug it and I'm good to go. Never had it die on me yet.

Mine recognized the charging right away. Took a few hours to reach 100%. My only real gripe about this battery and cord is the cord has no "charging" indicator light where it connects to the computer, however, the internal battery indicator in the system settings recognized it and does work for me.

When I searched for my power supply I enter the name of the computer and it told me what charger would work. That is how I ended up the Power+. I would suggest that you do the same if you are buying this through AMAZON. Sorry I can't be more help than that.

I don't believe so. I tried the 2 different charges they sent me. One shorted out, the other did not work. I called the tech and hey told me they tried a few models unsuccessfully. There was another customer with the exact same computer and same issue 2 weeks prior.The company was good in refunding, but it was a tedious process going back forth and waiting for them to try various models.I'm going to call a few other places to see if they've resolved the issue. I let you know if they have. If you find a charger that works please let me know as well. Take care, Joe. (704)6612836 I don't believe so. I tried the 2 different charges they sent me.

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.
