either remove the battery and wait a couple of seconds or do a factory reset... both methods seem to work...

Let me rephrase. My phone charges the motorola battery. It refuses to charge or give me the remaining life of non, motorola batteries. It does run on the non motorola battery when it is charged. There is just a question mark by the life left. 2.1 charged and displayed the life left of the non motorola battery.
Thanks

I am having exactly the same problem. The phone says "invalid battery" when using a non-stock battery that I bought off of ebay. I can charge the battery on a standalone charger, but it will not charge or read out the remaining battery life when used in the phone. The original battery that came with the phone works fine. Any ideas?

I have the same issue from a kit I got off ebay for 9.99 that included 2 batteries and a charger for them.

If your battery is bad and you try to re-flash, you will brick your device (since it will probably stop flashing about half way through - happened to me with my Wizard). Your best bet is to get a new battery... they are rather cheap either on eBay or Amazon...
From your message, everything points to a bad battery...
Good luck!
Thanks for replying
Hey
what do u think the probable problem due to which the battery got BAD?
i am using it from 1.5 years and this problem occured after that BATTERY DRAIN while i was using S2U2 2.33!
so what would be the problem as i mostly have to charge my battery from 60% twice a day so charging many times would be a problem
What do u suggest due to my big usage? Should i buy a extended BATTERY
But i want to tell u that i will take a extended battery if it fits only in the original case i dont want to buy a new case
So tell me the best option to get it also could u send me a link to buy it
it would be great thanks in advance!!!!

It could be that the battery just died on the spot... I don't believe (or at least have never heard of such an issue, let alone related to S2U2. The fact that you've had this for 1.5 years suggests that you bought it used, which means that the battery might be much older than that.
An extended battery will not fit with the original back cover. I believe that there was one (1500 mAh, I think), that it is supposed to fit, but I am not sure.
Just buy a stock battery and you will be in good shape.
hey i took a new battery still the problem occurs
It twice charged till 100% now does not charge above 70%
Same problem here
I am using Blackstone with official ROM. Its a new one. Less than one week old. Its battery is not getting charge more than 55%. Why so? I kept it on charger for one FULL night. But still its not charging above 55%. Please give me a solution for that.
Plz help

Don't double post. Also, you are in the wrong section. This is for Vogue (HTC Touch and not Touch HD). You should head over to the Blackstone section and see if someone can help there.

It probably has nothing to do, but what is the output of the charger that you are using? Also, 70% is enough (specially if it is a new battery) to flash a rom. Flash the device to something else and see if that solves the problem.
hey thanks for replying
I got the charger which i go from TELUS & by the way i took the phone new from TELUS and its now 1.5 yrs i took a new battery as u said but still the problem occurs my new battery charged to 100% twice but now it does not chage above 70%
charger is having rating output- 5V - 1A
if u say to change the ROM then which u prefer

Anything really, even flash the same one you have if you want to. Just make sure that your battery is charged as much as possible. If I am correct (and I think I am), it is a problem with the battery meter in WM, and flashing will tell WM that whatever your battery level is at that point will represent 100%. Give it a go and remember to back up your stuff before doing this. Good luck!
did the same but i think the problem is wid charger
coz the battery charges with the USB connected with computer
but the orange light comes when connected with charger but battery does not charge
but if the problem is wid charger then i dont think that the battery should charge in mobile off condition???

Try a different charger then. The battery will not charge if the device is off.

Battery Question Mark!?

Hi.
I just got my Droid 2 Global.
I tried my new battery which is an aftermarket Yiboyuan Battery.
It is not charging and I got a question mar on my status bar.
My phone says when I plug the charger:
!Invalid Battery
Your device battery is invalid and cannot be charged.
Replace the battery with an original Motorola battery.
I tired to clean contacts on phone and battery, still same problem.
Got this problem with stock rom and Fission 2.4.3 so it's not software.
My question is:
Is it my phone or the battery? I don't have another battery right now.
Best Regards and would appreciate any input.
Probably the battery. I would just count my loses and get a Moto battery. If you wanted to test if it's the phone, you could borrow a battery from someone with a D2, D2G, or original Droid, and see if it charges.
It sounds to me like it's the battery though. I've never heard of a bad battery giving that kind of error message.
Thanks for your answer.
The battery works correctly but it gives me this error and it won't charge.
In the battery box it says "milestone a855" so it might some kind of incompatibility with the D2G.
I will buy another battery right now but I will have to wait about a month to check it.
I had the same thing happen to me with a third party battery. Droids only like Moto batteries.
Already bought one from eBay.
Will report my results, maybe it will help someone.
Battery arrived.
Now it's reporting correct percentage and allows me to charge it.
Thanks.

Invalid Battery issue

I need help getting my Motorola Atrix to charge up the battery. When I plug in the charger the following message pops up in a box, " /!\ Invalid Battery
Your device battery is invalid and cannot be charged.
Replace the battery with an original Motorola battery."
I have the original Motorola Atrix battery that it came with originally. Problem occured out of nowhere. I cleared data/cache, rebooted phone, flashed different roms, took out battery then put it back in, used RSD Lite to flash back to stock 4.1.83 Atrix via sbf file but nothing worked.
Any fix for this?
Still can't figure out the problem.
Maybe need check warranty I use an chinese battery, and I did not get that message.

I had this happen once. I just left it plugged in for a couple of minutes and it went away.

If you have any warranty left, take it in. Most places don't even question battery problems and will give you a new one.
If not you could always order a cheap battery online and see if that fixes your issue. Or order a battery charger and spare battery. for $10, it's a pretty cheap fix if it works.

argggg ....you don't have an original charger ....
I have this probleme with a htc charger......with original one work great, don't boot
I've used my wifes HTC charger many times and never had any problems. If you are on AT&T call them and ask them to send you a new battery. They sent new one because my battery life sucked for free. Took about 5 days to get it.

i have the same problem but you had this for a long time ago
i purchased two extra batteries from ebay, and upon putting it into the phone it gave me the 'invalid battery' use original from moto.
i fixed it by clearing the battery stats using the batterycalibration app. i think every time i swap batteries i need to do this, as i got the message again when i changed out my dead battery for the second charged one.

My phone charges only during the day!!

Itz weird. I'm facing this problem since the last 3 days.
What happens is, my phone does not get charged during the evening or the night. I plugged it in the AC socket, I can see the red light and the battery indicator on the status bar also shows the charging animation. But the battery percentage just does not increase!!
Like, for instance, yesterday night, I tried to charge my phone and it did not get charged. It discharged fully. Today morning, at around 9am, I kept it to charge in the same socket and it charged (upto 100%). And just now, (itz 5:48 pm here) I tried to charge it through the same socket and itz not getting charged. WTF!!
P.S. I'm running CM7 build 16 (or probably 15). I am using this build since it was released.
HTC Wildfire
I think you should calibrate the battery. If still problem persist then my suggestion will be to get a new battery. Because this problem has been asked in Q&A a long days ago. Don't remember the subject line though

1st remove battery wait for sometime later insert it and try to charge ur phone through PC. It might work, else go to clockworkmod > advance > wipe battery > restart. This might work.
I tried that.
BTW, today my phone got charged usinng another charger. Itz still weird. My charger works inn my college but not at my home.. LoL
I think buying a new battery and keeping it as spare is the best alternative.

Best thing I ever bought was a spare battery and a universal (so I can use it when I upgrade too) battery charger that you clip a battery into, I never have to worry about battery life as no matter how hard I hammer it, my spare is always charged first.

Can't you change the phone's date and time?

Battery draining too fast

ok, first: I'm on stock rom, december update. completely stock, not even flash twrp yet. been on this for... a week maybe. and there is a really weird thing happening: I charge my phone normally, original charger and cable and everything, but when I unplug, it goes down like... one percent per minute. like, from 100% to 80% in 20 minutes. if I'm using the phone it's even faster. it stops at 58%, and the drain is normal from this point on.
any thoughts?
no thoughts? I just cant understand. my phone is fully stock, theres no unusual app and such. keeps draining as water.

You could try to press and hold the power button until your device reboots. While it reboots, plug in your charger and let it charge at least 1h more after it has reached 100%.
I don't know if this procedure really re-callibrates your battery, got this from the "official" Moto forums. At least you can't harm your device with it.

tried this method and a curioud thing is that the phone didn't go over 93%. it stopped charging at this point
just a lil update: I just charged my phone with a non turbopower charger (I have two of those from moto) and... my phone came back to normal.
seems to be that it was charging properly with my turbopower charger, and... after trting a regular chsrger, its charging with my turbo again.
weird, isnt it?

I was going to suggest the same thing as I have been experiencing that the battery lasts much longer when charged via a regular charger rather than with turbo. Try using a regular charger for overnight charging & see if you notice an increase in battery life.
I'm a heavy user with 125+ Apps installed now down to (60-80) & use it daily for 6-8 hours straight but I noticed after about a year with my Moto G4 Plus XT1644 RETAIL US my battery life was dying literally a full (turbo-charge) only lasted 30 mins & then it was dead. I then decided to bootloader unlock my device & that improved my battery tremendously but I found that custom roms have issues with either displaying the bars correctly or are just weaker due to some proprietary software. So for two weeks I've been fixing one thing & having another issue with something else.
I'm officially back on stock nougat with December security update & soon to be twrp+magisk. It seems to be the most stable & doesn't have the software issue with the bars which was a dealbreaker for me.
Report back if you find differences in battery using a standard charger vs the official turbo one!
