Charge new battery but will not stay charged for more than an hour is that the norm. when they stayed charged the whole day phones are three years old

Bob, the Panasonic does suffer from poor battery performance. It is a common complaint. You said staying charged for an hour, if that means that you can use it for an hour, that is actually pretty good. Anyhow, I would replace the battery one more time to make sure that the first battery pack was not of low quality. Hope this helps, good luck.

It could be a bad port that appears to be charging but does not. I have also seen devices with signal problems do this. It struggles to find the tower constantly so the battery runs down quickly.
