You didn't specify what you purchased, so I'm going to assume it was anything with a rechargeable battery.

Yes, or at least you should. Most devices aren't shipped with very much charge.

My tablet will not charge. How do I get it to charge. Is there a battery that needs replacing?

The battery could potentially need replacing, so I would recommend taking it to an authorised company to check what the problem is. Is it Samsung, Apple or a different company??

Finding a new replacement battery for my laptop

The quality of the battery determines the life of the battery.
If the laptop battery is more than 3 - 4 years old then the battery could be worn out. Rechargeable batteries have a finite number of charge and discharge cycles and will lose their charge capacity over time, i.e. won't charge to 100% and gradually the charge reduces until the battery won't charge up at all. OR The battery shows a 100% charge but when the adapter is disconnected the battery drops off to zero capacity in a very short time. If the battery drops to an unacceptable charge level then the battery needs to be replaced. Rechargeable batteries will fail if stored in a discharged state for long periods.

Battery light flashing amber

Is the battery a exact spec.? Some aftermarket batterys, inexpensive replacements, do not play-well with your laptop. If you purchased from a computer store, return for a replacement. That said, It may be that it's not fully charged or need to be drained and charged, cycle it a few times. Some batteries have to go through a "learning" process. It says fully charged in windows software, right? again, some replacement batteries don't play-well with windows.Its a "pins" thing in the battery connector.

If the battery drops to anunacceptable charge level then the battery needs to be replaced.Since you did not supply details of your device and the type of battery I cannot advise where to purchase the battery.
I suggest you Google the Internet for the rechargeable battery you require.

Hi, I bought Acer4741Z from India on September 2010............now, when i charge the laptop, it shows 52% charging and it wont go till 100 %. Any solution for this............pls help..............

When you first bought the laptop did you fully charge the battery for at least 20-24 hours before use? To ensure the lifespan of your laptop battery is long you will need to follow these easy steps:

1) Charge the battery at least 20 hours before use.
2) Completely drain battery power before you charge it again.
3) Try not to have the laptop battery plugged in if you re going to use AC directly from the wall socket.

You may need to purchase a new battery as this one's lifespan seems to have been reduced as it can only hold 52% charge. When you purchase another follow the above steps.

I recently did not pass my auto inspection with the new Interstate Battery I recently purchased for my 2002 Ford Escape. I was told that I need to drive 150 more miles before all aspects of the battery...

NO - sounds like the battery needs to be charged - a new fully charged battery will measure 12.6 volts - if you are not getting this voltage then the battery is not fully charged - driving the vehicle will charge the battery if the charging system is working correctly, but the battery should have been fully charged when you purchased it - batteries will loose charge sitting on a shelf and the best shops keep the batteries they have for sale charged weekly if they don't sell them faster than that - good luck :O)

I have been use sony cycle Energy Rechargable batteries AA 2000mAh. They are properly charging. But now I'am purchased another sony cycle Energy Reechargable batteries AA 3000mAh. But they are no charging...

It's likely your charger. You probably own a "fast charger" but it's also probably designed for your lower mAh power batteries. The charger does not understand the power difference of your newer high-capacity battery, thus it is automatically stopping the charge before completion sensing something is wrong. You'll need to either purchase a newer charger, clearly stated capable of charging 3000mAh batteries. An alternative is to use an older "trickle" charger (one of those that charges at very low power slowly overnight). These don't automatically turn off when the battery reaches full charge, thus will charge your battery.
