Charging issue: Anyone else have an issue with plugging in the cord to charge the battery?

I have the exact same problem - Have been searching for a while - but no luck with a solution. I also tried to get a new charger for the car and was told they are not available. When I first began to use the unit, the battery worked fine, then I stored it for quite some time and thought that was the issue. But after having it plugged in constantly, all that happens is the charging light will blink periodically, but the unit WILL NOT function without the power cord regardless of how long it's been charged :(

Unplug charger, then plug it back in and try to charge it now....don't know why, but that seems to work for me....certainly no the way it should be.

My original battery started doing this same thing occasionally when it started going bad. If your remove and put back the battery while the computer is still plugged in, then it should start charging. I watch for the charge light on the front to come on. Might take 2 or 3 tries. Hope it helps.

I think its a battery issue, have you replaced it yet? Does that happen while on the charger?

It doesn't say charging.... it shows a plug by the battery %. When I put the cursor over the battery it say charging.

Patricia, are you sitting it on the charger correctly? I have no problem. If you are perhaps a return or exchange is in order.

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

I have never had an issue - just plug it in and charge. The only thing I can think is under the seat where the connectors are maybe they aren't connected right? Sorry I can't be of more help.

I had trouble with mine not charging as well. Contact the seller and exchange it.

I've never had any problems charging my camera, the one that came with the camera or the spare that I bought. Did you try charging it both with the wall plug and plugging into a computer (or other USB port)? And are you connecting the plug to the hole between the hinge and the battery itself (and not the other hole)? Also make sure all the connections are tight. Sorry I can't offer any real suggestions or solutions... Good Luck!

I've never had any issues with mine. If I'm not mistaken it stops charging once it's fully charged!

There is an issue that lots of people are having but Google seems to be ignoring it. I began suffering slow charging about 6 months into ownership. Didn't happen every time but enough to be very annoying. I did find a mickey-mouse solution on your tube. When plugged in, remove the usb cable from the charger and re-insert like 4-5 times. It seems to work...so, that being said, I don't know if the issue is with the charger or the device itself.

Unfortunately, I have the same problem and no amount of charging is fixing it. It almost feels like there is actually no battery inside, or it used up its number of possible recharges. Returning it to Amazon. Will try one more time to order this thing.

I have the exact same problem. I contacted the vendor about it but I have not recieved a reply. When the battery is 100% full it runs fine but when charging, it's almost unusable.

I have no problem charging it. Try what Terri R. answered and if that doesn't work, speak to the seller - he's very nice.

Did you make sure everything was plugged in well. Sometimes putting the cord onto the power source is a little hard and if it was on all the way then I would say something is wrong because within the 24 hours mine was fully charged.

I haven't experienced that problem,may be a short in whatever you plugged it into. The only problem I have is it don't stay charged for very long other than that I think it delivers as advertised .
