I have a brand new battery. How do I recharge it? I tried using a Schumacher 6/2 amp Dual Rate Battery Charger. But it does not seem to charge it.

What purpose did you buy this for? Was it for a home security system, if so, then just replace the dead battery and this will charge off of the existing setup.

I do not know I have never had to charge it We have had this battery for over a year

The one I purchased came charged. I just installed it and it worked perfectly. I did get an extra couple of months out of my old battery by charging it with a 12 volt car battery charger but it finally would no longer take a charge.

It is not rechargeable! It's a fully charged battery. If it's not running your device, alarm, etc. it's either the wrong battery or defective.

It is not rechargeable. Once its drained, its dead. The alarm system draws off the battery only when the wired power source goes down for whatever reason. Unfortunately ig either sat and discharged or was defective and not able to hold a charge. Batteries will go bad if they have been sitting for too long.

They normally come charged. When plugged into the alarm system the system should keep it charged. Allow about 24 hours once you have it plugged into the alarm system to charge.

This charger will charge a dead battery provided the battery is not broken. I put a dead battery on the Schumacher for 30 minutes and then switch to my 'automatic' battery charger to finish the charging as it will stop when the battery is charged, but the Schumacher does not. I do not understand using the Schumacher as a power supply. It's a battery charger.

Nope. This might be a knock off styled battery charger, or the batter itself might be broke.Do you have any other batteries to try out to see if it's the charger itself or the battery? Someone you can borrow from?Do some testing to pin down what it is that isn't working here.Good luck.

Hey there, I left mine plugged in this winter and it completely drained it and it wouldn't hold a charge. The note on the charger clearly says not to keep it plugged in at cold temperatures. So totally my fault. I went to Batteries Express and had it replaced(well there are actually two inside of it), just shy of 120 bucks, but cheaper than buying a whole new unit.

I got tired of the poor customer service at Neuton and found a company called Battery Jack on Amazon. The Neuton battery has two cells inside. You just unscrew the cover (housing) and inside are the two batteries that are just plugged in. Unplug them and plug the two new ones in. Charge as ususal and you are set to go! From Battery Jack order: (2) SLA, 12V 10Ah Slim batteries for $17.90 each plus 7.45 shipping and you have a new battery for your Neuton a at grand cost of $43.25!!! I also called the company and asked how to best care for he battery and they told me that when not in use, it should be on the charger. I bought three batteries from Neuton before I discovered this alternative and I must say, I have enjoyed a better charge and a longer charge since doing it this way. Not to mention the money I saved!!! Good luck and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me!

I'd start with a new battery....and since it has a memory you will need to let it run all the down in order to get a full charge and then leave on the charger about 3 hours maximum time.

Hello, if I understand you correctly, the output voltage is less than what is required? Maybe a defective battery.. Although, dual voltage rechargeable, 220\50htz, may be the problem. The same with 110/60htz as well. So, it could be the charger. I have had zero issues with mine. Check the component that your using them on too... Hope this helps.

Without knowing the state of your battery it would be hard to say. Try the recondition button to see if you can get the battery to work, press the large button until recond light is lit. It takes a while to recondition the battery. Modern battery chargers will not charge bad batteries. If you started with a dead battery, then recondition may help. If the battery was okay then you have a bad unit. I would try it on a good battery before sending it back

Hi George, I would call Hudson directly of course.I have always charged mine up completely after use and used it until it is almost dead or dead. As well, even in the off season I will hook it up to the charger to keep the battery up. Some batteries call for a trickle charger during their lifetime. I believe these are like that. Hope this helps.If it is working use it til its dead and try to charge again. If not you will need a new battery .

Buying a battery might be a cheap fix. Make sure the charging unit is plugged in and it lights up when the unit is placed in the charger. If the unit is new, send it back.

On the phone or old battery there should be a voltage and milli-amp rating, ideally you get the same, never less on amps. Physical size and connector is next check, make sure red and black are on same side, I have only seen two styles of connectors through the years. Last make sure you give new battery the twelve or eighteen hour initial charge as recommended. Happy hunting.

Never had a problem w/the charger.just adjust the batteries.get a battery checker.best way to check any battery.also the batteries are old?best wishes.

You need to test the charger first to see if it's actually putting out a charge. If you have an Ohm's meter or just an "Idiot light" you can do this. Then, if you have a "Batteries R' Us" in your town you can get a new battery. Failing that, They are aval. online. In the past, I've cut the old charger off and using one I have around the house,rewire the battery attachment to an old but working charger. Good luck !

you can buy other batteries....and I would assume you can get a new charger....I would complain to the place you purchased it....mine is probably 4 years old....I have two batteries, so I constantly swap the batteries in the charger...

What you spend on this battery you could buy another charger cord & charger, I don't mean to discourage you from purchasing this battery but, it sounds like you need another charger & cord instead of another battery, another reason for the charger is that these batteries Only come to you "PARTIALLY CHARGED".

I charged my new camera according to the instructions, 2 hours, and now a month later the battery is dead and it won't recharge. I read on another online site about lith. batt. they should be charged 12 hours, taken out of the camera, reinserted and charged for another 12 hours, and then do it again to fully charge the battery. No one else has had a problem with the battery?

You need a charger. I've used battery for about a year, then it suddenly died. Will not charge anymore. Just had to order another battery. May want to try a different decoded battery.
