Recieved a new battery for my Vision today. Put it on charge but after 7 hours, still only have two bars and a flashing third.

I am sure the initial charge didn`t take this long with my other batteries.

Anyone had similar problems?

Just wondering whether discharging it and recharging may help.

Knowing how critical good batteries are, would I be better getting it replaced?

Thanks
 
I would try a discharge and supervised recharge. There is part of the intelligent charging circuit that won't allow topping off a partially discharged battery, so that could be the culprit.
 
Thanks for the replies.

I will try discharging it but am not hopeful. When I took it off charge yesterday the lights stayed on (still 2 bars), it took 4-5 pushes of the switch to get them to go off.

I will connect it to the computer but doubt I will understand what it is telling me.

Dealer has said they will sell me a new one and then give me a refund when the faulty one gets back to them.

Thanks again.
