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,
