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.

For those who are looking for an extra battery I purchased a couple from one site and it showed up as unknown in the battery meter also it did not fit.
So I decided to try these guys out at --> http://cgi.ebay.com/2x-Battery-USB-...photoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1713.m153.l1262
The battery fit perfectly and my Sprint TP recognizes the battery as well letting me know how much charge is remaining. On another note, the screen protector did not match (not even close), but I was more interested in the batteries and the charger (one for me another for my wife)
Hope this helps
wrong forum but thanks
sorry for posting in wrong area. also I have bad news. i was wrong!!!! these batteries did not recognize! I have the battery meter mod installed and when I saw 1% I thought it was recognized. when i tried to charge the batteries in its desktop charger it showed up as fully charged. so i placed it back in my phone but the 1% still showed so i checked the battery info & it showed up as unknown
sorry for the misinformation

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%

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.
Ever since I upgraded to Froyo my droid X doesn't charge nor display life left on Non oem batteries. It worked fine on 2.1. Any way to "fix" this?

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.

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.
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.

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.

It goes to 'M' Dual Core Technology screen and just stays there.
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.
Hello,
I am using One Plus 2 for a few years already. Lately I started suffering because of battery drain and long time charging. Problem is quite serious because while charging and using phone battery % is getting down. It takes whole night to charge it to 100% and in the midday I have 20% left.
I tried to use different chargers and cables. Didn't help.
Today I changed battery to new one. Didn't help.
Wiped out unofficial rom, installed official stock one. No addtional apps installed. Didn't help.
I am charging it with charge monitor app and while on AC charging I get very unstable charging graph. I need to turn off screen and leave phone untouched to charge it.

Where else to look for a reason?
Usually LTE connection drain the battery. Try disable it and try for few hours.
I tried to charge it with airplane mode. Didn't help neither.
Hi
Did you resolve your issue? I have same situation but I think that happened after when I do update Oxygen, now charger my battery is really slow and drain battery really quick. I can just leave, not touched my OP2 for all day and the battery after 8hrs got 30%. I buy original battery and still nothing change for better.

Hi
Have you tried to change the charging cable. I had the same issue and changed the charging cable. It worked for me.

Another problem is with a cable because original cables for OP2 can't buy anywhere right now, the company OnePlus has stopped production this cable for this device so I buy original cable Dash Charger from site oneplus.net
Three possibilities (at least):
* The charger is not working
* The cable is not working
* The battery is failing
Solutions for the first two are more obvious than the last one. Pick up a new or working used charger/cable. But the battery is a little dicier. And frankly, it is also more likely the cause for this than a bad cable or charger (esp. charger). But re the battery... No direct sales from Oneplus are available except via an official Oneplus repair job, which requires you sending your phone to them and them replacing the battery. Obnoxious, eh?!
The unofficial route? This is frowned on by many here, but not me. Buy a cheap ebay battery for the oneplus 2. Look for one that at least promises the battery's power matches the phone's specs. I bought one for $12 from an American seller (because I wanted a bit more accountability if it didn't work). They do work. They also take a while to start reporting their voltages and charges correctly, and must be charged / discharged completely a few times before things start getting accurate.
That's no official answer... just one guy's experience. Hope it helps.
