9x5 will never fully charge

[pasttarg]

i have a strange prob with the oval coil the display on the remote shows it at half full after charging
it goes thru the procedure ok with a slow flash to show fully charged

its been back to regtons and they sent me a new battery but its stil the same ..only half full according to the remote control cimble afer a full charge what gives ??

charging clip and cable has been changed as well

Same problem here. After an hour or two plugged in, coil light illuminated, it eventually does the 3-second flash. Then test it with the machine switched on and the display shows 2/3 full at most, so put it back on charge, repeat the procedure 2 or 3 times and eventually the charge shows as full.

XP consistently ignore complaints about the charging clip. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Not much help I know, but I sympathise.

I'm not familiar with any XP machines other than the Goldmaxx P4 but before doing anything else, if you can readily access the battery, check the battery holding voltage with a voltmeter followed if necessary, by a check of the charger's output voltage. I've heard before that sometimes the charge indication is incorrect. Here's hoping you get to the bottom of the problem.
