Re: battery shows always 100 percent and drops to 0 percent in afew seconds

I forget the topic, but someone recently found a proper 3rd-party brand unit on DealExtreme for $9 that works -right- and has a good capacity.
I think This is that one; comments seem to suggest that it's as good as the genuine ones, and far better than most knock-offs.

you got a fake battery....simple.

take your original battery and match the fonts to the one you just got. you will notice a very slight difference in font and color

Tools like battery graph are showing a graph always at the same level.

Do you have an idea what I can do to get back the normal behaviour?

Thank you Uwe

this is the easiest case ever:

1. return the defect battery
2. ???
3. profit

knockoff batteries try to keep voltage as high as possible until the cell is fully depleted = described behaviour. but it might be genuine one in which case you should have no problems switching it to working one.
