Has anybody had an issue with the battery? How long does it last once you unplug it?

I've been having problems with the battery. After 5 hours of having it charging in my car the camera battery died after taking it off the charger.

I'm thinking it's a bad unit. Ours works fine. Have used it for 4 1/2 months and haven't changed the battery once.

We leave plugged in most of the time but it holds a charge indefinetly unplugged. I hope it helps.

I have had mine for some time and don't recall that it was a problem when I installed the battery. Sounds like you may have to return it and get another, BTW, I do like (and trust) the unit.

I have not had any problem with the battery in several years-four or five. I keep it plugged in when not in use.

Depends how long you have been using it. When we first bought it it lasted 8-9 hrs. After about two months of use (not usually longer than a few hours unplugged) it has dropped to around 5 hours.

Never had a problem with batt life, longest usage about 4-5 hrs but i charge it after that with left over current in it.

I have had mine in use for several months with no issues. It is off all the time when not in use so I am not sure what would drain the battery. A friend of mine has one going on three years old and has never mentioned issues with any part of it. One of the reasons I bought this one.

I haven't had a problem with mine at all. I would probably do what another person suggested. Unplug it for awhile, and then try it again. Sorry I can't be more help.

I've had it for about two years now, and the battery life on it is about two hours, give or take. It's definitely better than the one I replaced, though. I'm still a little disappointed that I have to practically keep my laptop plugged in just to be able to use it for longer periods. Hope this helps!

I too leave mine plugged in. However, when I have left it out for a little while, always charges right back up. I don't see how the battery can be replaced. I have had mine several years now and cannot complain at all about how it works.

I have been using the battery for a couple months and I haven't had that problem. It doesn't seem to charge consistently though.I have not been happy with battery performance.

I've had mine for quite a while. I love it and have had no problems. Keeps a charge for hours! Maybe you got a bad one.

We have had ours since February 3rd and no battery issues yet. It goes off if you pull the baby out so you always remember to turn it off.

I have been using mine for over a year and have never unplugged it, works great.

For me, so far, it has been lasting just about 2-3 hours on a full charge. Almost 1 year of usage so I do keep it plugged in when not in use and definitely overnight.

I purchased as a gift for my son at Christmas, he's had zero issues. Once the battery is fully charged, disconnect. Removing the connection from the laptop when finished using would prove ideal. Keeping it connected kills the battery much more quickly. Contact Philips or Batteries Plus is a great place to look. Hope this helps and good luck.
