Battery issue.

I have the moto extended battery, when it's under 20%, it will take much much longer to charge, I suggest using an outlet and the Bionic's usb cable. I tried charging via computer, didn't charge, tried with a normal usb cable, no go, I think moto's cable transfers more power somehow. After about 50%, it should charge much faster.

 

That's odd. I didn't even know rayovac made cell phone batteries. Maybe your phone isn't displaying the proper amount since it's an AM Extended battery. Do you have an external charger that it will fit into? Or an extra Bionic that you could leave plugged up for a while?

 

When are you off next? I would use your regular battery until your next off day, if it's still good. Then early that morning, or before you go to bed after work, put the Ext. Bat. in and charge it with the phone turned off. Let it sit for a while if it hits 100%. Kinda like Fox suggests when calibrating a battery.

 

Well, it depends. Moto's software might limit the charging range on it, your phone might not properly recognie your battery, or you have a defective battery. All I can suggest is to take it one step at a time. Unless FoxKat sees this thread and steps in to point you in a better direction. I'll shoot this thread his way and let him help you. But I'm sure he won't be able to reply til later tomorrow.

 

You may need to clear the battery stats file and let it generate a new one.

 

That would be calibrating it. But not til it's dead, 15%.
