Replacement Battery Question

[ElsaReyes]

Okay so two days ago I put in my second replacement battery in the 2 or so years I've had it.

The battery that came in it I guess was faulty as within two months it started overheating like hell and draining the battery very fast as a result. So about 6 months after getting it I ordered a new battery replacement from NewPower99, and I don't remember when I first started using it, but It's been good until about a month ago.

So I got the newest one from ZTHY Tech. And I put it in, but I don't know if it's just me, but it seems to be draining a bit to fast, and this battery has better reviews then the newpower so I don't see how it could be just how this one is.

So I was wondering, is there something I should do before charging it again? Like should I completely discharge it or something?? Also, what's discharging?

Elsareyes, I suspect your battery connections may be the culprit. Look through this thread so see how to fix.

Nah, I found out the problem, I think ZTHY is just a **** brand. Which would explain why it's 20 dollars cheaper.

I put back in my old one, and despite overheating from time to time, it lasts a hell of a lot longer. And it's a year and a half old.

I'm gonna buy another of the good battery in a few weeks when I have enough money.

That's good, keep us posted on the 'good battery' when you get it. We all need a good reliable battery vendor for this tablet.
