Reply To: Is my battery dead on arrival?

It should charge to full in app. 4h when tablet off even with stock charger. I bought blitzwolf charger and tome of charging is the same but much better charger; does not get hot,can charge 2 devices at the same time, charges at constant rate. Try upgrading the charger and experiment with different usb cables. I am also waiting now for different usb cable;charge only no data transfer, 22AWG or lower if you can find one. Read other topics in whole forum, they are really helpful- General, X98Pro and even Chuwi. One more thing; like someone from x98Pro forum sugested, when i recieved my unit i left it to charge overnight for at least 12h before i turned it on for the first time (no mather how painfull it was not to play with my new gadget 🙂 ) – maybe that helped as well. Try and give your battery couple of full cycles; charge it to full and let it deplete until it turns off. it helped couple of members of x98 pro forum.
