charged great but noticed two circular imprints after first use. Is this normal and safe?

No, this is not normal. This model of charger is poorly designed and is overheating and melting its own case. It's a fire hazard and you should stop using it.

No, mine seems to be just fine. I have had it about a month and already charged it many times.

On the two tablets I had, the only seeable sign that the products were refurbished was the rounded rubber pads on the rear of the product. The main concern was that both of them were not working so there might have a reliability issue or i was maybe not very lucky. Anyway, after a first exchange, the item was totally reimbursed.

Same here, I bought two of these chargers, one was fine..the other one had a broken brass strip on it and the battery will not charge on that side. I was wondering the same, how do I get a replacement as this one is obviously defective. I don't want to have to go through the whole process of having to repackage it, sending it out again, and waiting for the replacement. I was very disappointed.

Perhaps the battery has been moved, maybe during delivery it was banged a few times. It really is a simple to use device. If it's new I would suggest to return it and buy a new one.

Same issue here - I'm going to try and get a refund; the issue is that the thing has so much of an electrostatic charge, that unless you're in a clean room it WILL attract particles from anywhere. Once it gets onto the back of the screen, good luck getting it off without leaving permanent marks on the back, which of course are very visible once applied.

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.

No, that's not normal at all, it sounds like you have a really bad battery. If you are using the rechargeable lithium ion batteries that comes with it, then you probably have one that has gone bad, I would stop using it immediately, and certainly don't try to recharge it.

No, it is not normal. Return it to vendor and let Amazon know it is defective and could cause harm. Your return shipment fee could be waived since return is not your fault.

To the best of my ability to determine, the battery charger appeared new. I have not had a moment's difficulty and have used it many, many times...Spencer G

Check to make sure the battery contacts aren't bent. Double check to make sure the new battery is actually good and that it doesn't have one of those clear insulating stickers on it. Maybe try a different new battery if you don't have a tester. We keep a spare pendent, just in case. They're quite inexpensive.

Good question!!! The first one i bought was perfectly fine. The second one was as you described. Im a bit wary about buying again.

I don't really know. As a matter of routine, I charged them before I used them. As a matter of interest, I have been using the first one for several weeks; it appears to have an excellent life.Dale

Sounds like it got wet. That doesn't mean it was damaged. If it charges and lasts a half day with use or a whole day on standby its prob working as well as mine does.

I've had this happen occasionally with mine, particularly as the battery has gotten older. It seems to happen only after it has been plugged in for a long time. Unplugging it and letting it sit seems to clear it. If I don't leave it plugged into the charger for more than a day, I don't see the problem. If your's always does it, I think the battery may be getting sick, or the charging circuit is defective.

I've read that these sometimes have a break-in period and that the charging indication corrects itself after a few days of use. I'd try charging it up and using it and recharging it a few times to see if that helps. Only "problem" is that the charge lasts a long long time! Good luck.

This is normal. It does not change, it just stays on to let you know it is charging.
