I've drained it a few times so now the charge says 35hr left in battery.... its hard to drain it! You will have to do it at least 3 times during the first week or so...

I did not. Charged it fully and then used it till less than 7%. I'm averaging 4 days of usage... a mild user (wifi & bluetooth off). Bought a second battery so that I can charge one while the other is being used.

No it will not drain its made to be left hooked up to your batterys, just plug in when you want to charge them

Plug it in and charge it. The charge just disappears with no use. After it charges for a time the front screen will come up and tell you the charging %. It will take a day to fully recharge.

Yes. It does not recharge well. It has bad memory and if you recharge before total discharge it will only charge back to that point.

I dont think so. I get about 30 mins with this battery before I have to re-charge.

yes. after you have charged your device with the charger you recharge the drained charger. If you have an adapter that you use for another device you can use regular outlet to re-charge

No, ALL New Rechargeable batteries need to be charged PRIOR to use. Using the battery BEFORE charging it will reduce it's life.

Nope, 5 volts output at all times. Devices are usually designed to swap to a trickle charge once the battery reaches a certain level. Also with lithium and metal oxide batteries memory affect is not that big of a concern.

No, it comes with NOTHING. No Instructions covering if used once, will it be recharged to use a second time.....NOTHING. Not worth the money. Only way to test it is to set it off, obviously BUT, if you set it off, can you shut it off or ever use it again? NO information included.

Once you have properly fully drained and charged your batterys a few times yes.Best investment I've made yet!

nope. you need to recharge it again. depending on how humid your environment is, you may have to charge it once a week. I did not care for this product, and moved on to something else.

Did you charge the battery for the length of time indicated in the instruction manual prior to use? The first time or two I used mine the battery ran down pretty fast. After recharging it, the battery definitely held a charge longer than it did initially. If it continues to not maintain the charge as long as you think it should, I would contact the manufacturer or return it.

Thanks for your inquiry. All batteries are only charged with 50%-70% capacity when we shipped it out in order to avoid any dangerous occurrence happen. Usually, please don't use it up when you first install it and please kindly try to charge it around 12 hours at the first time, and then discharge it. Please do this cycle for 3-5 times continuously. This will help to activate the battery.

You might want to Google this one. But understand you need to charge the battery All the way and let it discharge almost All the way for the first couple of charges.

No, this battery was for a 3 year old laptop that the old battery died. What I did not know was that this was a reconditioned battery. The life of the battery for me on this battery was no more than 6 months and now I have to have my laptop plugged in constantly or it will power down. I had to go with this battery only because I could not find a new one. If I had to do it again, I would spend more if I knew I was purchasing a never used battery.

It's plugged into the power source, so my answer is yes. It's using power also so I don't know if you would notice it charging, but I can say I've used it when I had no power on my battery and it worked perfectly. I never noticed a drain on it either. It's like using the tablet while charging it. I hope this helps! :-)
