Why does battery charge not last even though battery is brand new?

Is the alternator charging , with engine running connect a volt meter to battery should show around 14.2 volts , is there a short , remove leads from battery over night , if it starts in the morning there is a short circuit, if the battery is nun down it's faulty even though it's new .

I also had the same problem of the battery not lasting a whole round. I found out that if the unit was left for any length of time after it had been fully charged, it would start to discharge even though it was turned off. I now make sure that if I'm playing golf the next day I will put it back on charge overnight.
this has worked successfully for the last 5 months approx
i also looked to find a replacement battery but without success
hope this helps

What are the battery condition lights doing? How many and what color? Is it Freewheeling?

Nokia N8 is a very good phone from Nokia Corporation.

Please continuously charge the battery for 24 or 48 hrs.

Then see the result.

Digital cameras are famously demanding on batteries. You must use good alkaline batteries or better, a set of high capacity NiMH rechargeables. Zinc or "long life" batteries just aren't up to the task, and they can leak and cause corrosion.

NiMH batteries with a capacity of 2700mAH are available, and these will last longer, per charge, than name brand alkalines, as well as being rechargeable. You can buy these with a charger fairly cheaply now (though they obviously cost more than disposables). You will probably want two sets, one to be on charge while you use the other.

This could be caused by several things, but try the obvious first. I just bought a brand new power supply, and in less than a week the customer called and said it stopped working. I suggested she take the cord from the old charger and try it - it worked - the brand new cord lasted less than a week. The other thing that could cause this is a bad connection on the end of the power supply, going into the computer. It could even be a bad power supply.The last thing I can think of is a bad battery that won't hold a charge.

Is the phone under warranty?

You should check that the battery is a genuine Uniden one. (Check them all).

From personal experience - I had the same problem with a phone I bought (supposedly) brand new - though mine would last about 10 minutes. The batteries which came in the box were not genuine Uniden batteries. I had to buy new ones direct from Uniden (to be sure) - and no problems since..

I have since been told that sometimes the original batteries are stolen and replaced with cheap nasty ones - before they even get into the shop.

Same thing can happen with computer software - they make copies from the original cd. Then they just need a vacuum packaging machine to make it look like it has never been used.

Return to store for replacement.

Did you check your brand new battery? Fully charged? Hydro was good? You are connected properly ( + = + and - = - ) Do a volt check yourselg between + and - (frame)

If yes to all, Id be looking at the ignition switch.

If your Alternator didn't charging the battery, even though you brand new battery will not last. So there is two possible cause, 1) Your Alternator is not functioning. 2) there is a wiring problem that causing your battery to discharge easily, but you check it after you switch off the key remove the battery negative terminal then touch it back to batt term. and see if there is little blue spark, if does your wiring system got problem. If not, so your Alternator do not charge the battery.
