A friend of mine has the same problem. She had to get the device fixed. It was 
not the battery. I think she said it was the charging mechanism in the device.

  Subject: [bookport] BookPort Plus battery problem


  I am posting the inquiry below for a teacher of the visually impaired:

   

  Has anyone experienced an issue with the battery on their Book Port Plus?  
One of my students has reported today that her Book Port Plus is not 
recognizing the battery.  She checked the battery status at lunch and it was at 
83%.  Everything was fine.  Then she turned it off and when she went to turn it 
on an hour and a half later, it would not turn on.  She plugged it in when she 
got home and it worked, but when she checked the battery status after 3 hours 
of charging, it said "AC adapted, no battery installed".   The student uses 
this device about 3 hours a day and she charges it every other day.  I do not 
think the battery should not have worn out that quickly.  She has only been 
using the device since February. She can still use the device now, if she has 
it plugged in.

   

  I wanted to try to determine if we just got a bad battery, or if this is 
something else.

   

  Thank you,
