Default Andida Battery issues?

I bought one of the Andida 1980 mAh batteries back in October and it doesn't charge at all. Leaving it plugged in for over two hours does nothing. Its obviously too late to do anything as far as a return is concerned. I have a feeling that it was dead on delivery but for $8.99 I can't complain too much. Would an external charger fix this?

Just sounds like a dead battery pack. It happens.

Most likely it died. But for 8.99 it wasnt expected to last that long. Or was it ?

I have been using it for a few months and have no complaints. The battery you got could be defective. I think you should try to get another one.

Mine died about 2 weeks ago. Darn thing made me think I bricked my Thrill. I believe it has lasted about 3 months. I also expected longer life but for the cheep price I'm going to get another.

Given the nature of Li-ion. When they go bad its without warning and its flatline. I believe mine went bad cause a I had a few drops and rapid temperature changes. Batteries don't like that sort of thing.
