Maybe yes! Try taking it through a full charge cycle and see what it says then ... if it is the same... get'er changed!

The battery worked as expected (I had very realistic expectations for such a low priced item) for the first few weeks and then crapped out right after the return period ended. My battery never charged fully but I got a good hour of use then it just crapped out and swelled up to a point I couldn't even use the touch pad. I pretty much had to use a pry bar to get it out of my computer. I was really excited to have a functional laptop battery again but that didn't last and I wish I had returned it. I don't know if your specific battery is defective but it sounds like it has many of the qualities that mine had.

In my opinion, the "service battery" notice shows up because it is not an original Apple product. My reads the same and I don't seem to have any problems with it. As for the capacity, I never checked on that, so I can't answer that question. I'm having no problem with my battery.

If you want a cheap battery and you don't care that the charge doesn't last very long, then this is a great deal. This battery gets hot which is one of the indicators that this battery is going to have problems. It will recharge fully, but it runs down quickly and only will last for about an hour and a half at the most. The battery shows fail every time that I have had run diagnostics on it from Apple. I have since bought a better quality battery, granted I paid 3Xs the cost, but it lasts three and a half hours on average and it doesn't get as hot and has already lasted longer than the one I bought in June of this year.

Hello, I sent this product back almost immediately since it did not meet my needs. There may be contact covers over the battery terminals, (occasionally they put these on for transit). I imagine you have already checked for that. My only other suggestion would be to contact 3M directly as they probably provide a one year warranty. They would most likely send you a new battery. Since this product could not meet my needs I returned it almost immediately. As

I ordered this battery and it does not work for me either...I have no idea why but it is not the same battery shown when I ordered it. I actually never knew it did not work - because I only use it on the desk and it is plugged in. I really feel that I need a refund.

Hello, Naser. chances are, like me, you got a "reconditioned" battery, and not a brand new one from Toshiba directly, correct? As I had found out, after about a year from purchase, my Toshiba battery would only hold about 90 minutes of a charge, so I went to Amazon, and got a replacement. I was thrilled when I first charged it up and got over 3 hours of battery life! After 3-4 months, however, it dropped to less than an hour! I complained to the company here in CA. and was told that it was a reconditioned battery, which means that it is not as good as an original! If you want to pay over $100.00 for a new battery, contact Toshiba directly, but even they will not guarantee their batteries either! Sorry for your problems! Greg Stone

I have noticed that if the battery is not used, it is good for the time stated. Of course, any use or over charging will void the life of the battery. Just make sure if the battery is NOT used it is as good as new.

10 times longer is not very useful.... If your old battery was severely crippled it could have been charging very quickly because it had so little capacity left. Fast charge & fast discharge is not what you want.I'd let it charge over night and see if it makes it through the next day. If the run time is long, do you really care how long it takes to charge? Just let it charge up overnight.

I would send it back if you can. I purchased same item and one battery will not charge and the other battery was dead out of the box and Amazon doesn't pay any attention to these messages or I would have heard from them from a previous message.

I had the same problem and had to return the battery. I went and purchased a whole new unit. Careful if you order a battery because if you have to return it, Amazon doesn't let you because it is a hazardous item. I went through a lot trying to return it to the vendor. The one I received was also broken. Good luck.

you MUST be certain your current battery is 1430mah 3.7 v 5.3 wh Exactly.Mine was off(as its original is 4.9Wh) Quite frankly this unit is junk,Amazon won,t return it after 30 days and it takes about that much time to find out!Almost ruined my phone!

Check the battery being replaced model number and compare. Thats what I did, also check the available pictures to compare them physically. Last thing, google it.

Just got mine today. Haven't tested actual capacity but with 18650 batteries inside it looks that is actually probably around 15,000 mah. I'm going to test by fully discharging a device that is 5000 mah. If i can't get enough recharges to be impressed I'll be returning mine.

Are you saying you just got one (from amazon or other venders) and what you got is dated as being made in 2007? If so, I'd return it since if it's been on their shelf that long, the battery will likely not accept a charge now. If you're saying you've had it since then and wonder how good it is now, that depends on how it's been treated and used. I have a different brand that I've had for 10 years and took it camping several months ago. I used it to power a raft trolling motor where it supplied ~8 amps for over an hour (it's battery is rated at 18 amp hour). I've kept it charged following the instructions of "Recharge after every use and at least once a month", so that's what can happen.

did you check the model number to the battery number to see if its the right one!! maybe compare it to your old battery and if they don't look the same it's the wrong one, if it is hurry up and request a return label. they can send it to your e-mail and download it and print the return label.do it A.S.A.P.
