HI,

I have a player from Uxcell, It originally had issues with the battery!! I emailed them about it , and the response was very helpful.They did say that if all else fails to send it back. I figured i would wait a little longer. I had tried all of the suggestions anyway before this, but to no avail.

:oops: After a few days of on again off again charging, I have discovered for some reason now!!! a player that actually charges its battery properly and it seems to last longer than about 30 mins. I have now discovered a few things!! :shock: I assume the battery is flat when it arrives, I charged mine for at least 6 hours first up, after that I had issues with no charge holding etc etc, as the days went on (about 5 days) I have discovered the battery has improved its integrity :P and so far so good!! I actually used my pod at the gym last night and lasted the whole hour and a half :P
My theory is that when the player arrives let it charge for as long as possible over the suggested 8 - 12 hours (suggested by some) at least as you continue to charge over a few days I think it only gets the battery in a better condition, this is what has happened to me, its strange, but I a'int complainin :wink: Also I found that charging via wall or USB has not mattered, but having the ON / OFF button to the ON position seems to make the battery charge icon move up when charging etc, in the OFF position the whole battery charge icon just stays static??? does this mean it is not charging??

Maybe this will help others, as there are a lot of similar issues on this site :shock: I am still considering up specing the battery to a nono replacement battery of 330 - 400 mAh 3.7v capacity as mine from factory is a 180 mAh 3.7v
Love to hear other opinions about this.

cheers
