If thelaptop 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 andwill lose their charge capacity over time, i.e. won't charge to 100% andgradually the charge reduces until the battery won't charge up at all. OR Thebattery shows a 100% charge but when the adapter is disconnected the batterydrops off to zero capacity in a very short time. If the battery drops to anunacceptable charge level then the battery needs to be replaced.

It should begin charging as soon as it's plugged into power. Check the AC adapter to make sure it hasn't come partially unplugged in the middle. If that's still secure, try a different outlet. If it's still not charging, you may have a faulty AC adapter.

Razor electric scooter e 300 battery charges but won't run

first check to ensure the batter has held the charge you put into it. Just plugging the charger in does not mean the battery is holding the charge. If the battery is bad, it will drain as fast as you put it in. if the batter holds a charge, should be able to disconnect the charger and battery will show charge. if so, you have a bad connection or motor.

A new batter could be the issue as to the particles being dead for such a long time. I would try charging it for a while and try puling the battery out and see if it will perform with just the charger plugged in. If the device is working with the battery but dying quickly then the issue is with the batter.

I have my Garmin Nuvi 750 connected to my computer to charge. How can I tell when it is charged? The screen shows the word Garmin with an up arrow and a picture of a computer connected to the Garmin.

When it is plugged into the computer you cannot see if it is charged. You would have to unplug it from your computer after a few hours to let it charge, have it start up and then check the number of batter bars on the top right corner of your screen
