On average, these batteries last about 500 charges to 18 months and begin to fade. There are factors that can affect how soon the battery needs to be replaced.

Hello,
I have a Actius AV18. I bought this about 1 and half years ago...
For some strange reason...my battery started to get 40-60 mins on a full charge...and now everytime I charge it until 100%, 5 seconds later a dialog box pops-up and says I have critical battery
I tried to discharge it completely and charging it up without turning it on...
Anyone has a solution for this?
