Audiovox PVS3393 portable DVD player, rechargeable battery (130-774013W000). Battery won't charge. Player works when plugged into car.

If the rechargeable 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.

After a while even rechargeable batteries loose the ability to hold a charge. This process accelerates when the battery is allowed to lie completely discharged for long periods of time. NiCad batteries especially have this issue. If you left the battery sitting for long periods without occasionally charging it, it losses the ability to hold a charge. It appears you are going to have to either do without the battery or replace the pack. I would take out the old one, it will eventually start to corrode and leak and if its still in your machine it will cause damage. If you get a new battery pack make sure you charge it fully and then depleat it completely before recharging it. hope this helps.

shock the batt wid 12volts dc...put back in the player...recharge then

Good Question,

The manufactures ratings are based on testing purposes that your MFG. Battery willl last approx 2.5 hours on a full charge.

You can purchase longer lasting batteries up to 6 hours but there pretty steep in price.

Thanks for your question, please be considerate when rating to be positive and leave feedback.

Tries Ebay.com or Amazon.com these websites have masive electronics acessaries.

you can clean first the battery terminal or the copper pins before you purchase new battery.

check first your charger if have output voltage. if out ok. check the dc jack of your player.

The blinking went away as I had charged it for a very long time. However, it was noted that it would not work on the DVD. The battery needs to be replaced. That solved my problem. I still have to look for a new battery for this device: US Logic 680p DVD player with recharging capabilities due to the portability option. It works fine if plugged in, but the battery just needs to be replaced if I want to use it independent of the plug. Thanks for asking how I resolved the issue.

I have a battery for PE703 Eddie Bauer DVD player. Contact me at zurplus@comcast.net and we can discuss price. I also have not working player that I will throw in for parts.

I dont have an instruction book so Call one of these #s Im sure they can assist you in this matter Good Luck 1-800-229-1235, 1-800-645-4994
