hello guys,i recently bought a used o2 exec with 2 batteries(one extra old used battery) and pretty much disappointed with it,coz its almost like a dead one,its always turning off even when its fully charged,it stays for max 4-5 mins of work and tends to turnoff suddenly(the image is fading slowly and blackens up ending).then only remedy is to plugin charger in order to start it again.i had tried both batteries,but same problem occurs again.....now in the forum there are various methods for recaliberating battery.
1st) method says recalibration using bootloader mode drain method-it doesnt works as even in bootloader mode my exec turns off automatically even if battery % is much higher(60%,50% etc).
2nd)recalibration using plastic tape covering on one of the battery points in order to drain battery==same automatically turns off even when 70-80% battery left


now what i just want from you guys is a simple answer to my question-should i consider my exec as a brick & stop using it

or

take 1 more chance & buy a new battery.& try it on my device,i think this may not be a battery problem as battery calibration is also not workin,may be its a device hardware problem......

a batt can be defect and not being seen as such by % or fixed by calib

one of the biggests issues with laptops, phones and..... today imho is
that batts are crap
the % is never correct the usage is never linaer
and a defect batt can be seen as working ,,,,,
