Make the length of charge usable? Charge seems to last about 14 hours &amp; data not saved if recharged before uploaded. Very annoying.

I don't have this problem. Maybe you have a defective one? I know it's inconvenient, but you could try exchanging it at the store where you bought it, or asking Withings to replace it. Good luck.

It has been charging 23 hours, still the lights are blinking.... Probably it is going to be over soon. I am now fully charging for the first timeUpdate! - it has just finished charging. SO, it took almost 24 hours to be fully charged for the first time.

Did everyone try charging the unit while it is powered off?It seems to make a different to me. I bought three(3) and so far all battery seemed to be decently averaged out around 2.5 hours or so (mainly net surfing and video conferencing) after few months of usage. Power on while charging seems like charges don't hold too well even it shows 100% charged.Try it out...it may make some different.

I just used mine for 6 straight hours, and 2 hours the day before, still going strong. I would estimate 10 hours full charge to dead.

I charged it for an hour and a half the first time I charged the player, then an hour the next time, but the unit was not totally uncharged. The website instructions do not give specific charge times.

I am on my second SwiMP2G. I have no charging issues. I swim M-F for 1/2 hour and recharge it after 10 swims. That is also how my first one was used and I never had a charging problem with it either. Sorry I could not help with any resolution.

Hello. Based on usage a full charge should last between a couple weeks of non-usage to a few days of extensive use. Thank you

6-7 hours or so for me - do yourself a favor and purchase a longer usb cable so you can charge while using when necessary.

I take high resolution photos so battery life is shorter than it would be with lower. Right now it is 1/4 used up and has 109 minutes on it. I plan to buy a spare battery and keep one charged all the time.

I don't know what these guys are talking about it only lasting 8 or 12 hours between charges. What are they doing with it? I work on my computer 8 hours a day and have to recharge the battery every few months or so. What am I missing?

Glad you asked. It seems like mine has died after less than three months and perhaps 2 dozen charges. I had used it to charge my phone while I still used the phone. Not sure if that had anything to do with it. And unfortunately I can't find the box it came in so I probably can't return it, either. It was great while it lasted, but.... Does this help you make a decision? ;]

Looks like it's not working. I had mine a long time ago and i know i charged it like for hours. Maybe 8. But not 2 days. That's too long. If it's still not charged, then i would think it is not functional.

I find that at full charge the batteries last more than 4 hours. I think it is a great idea to keep a spare charged. Especially if you are editing or taking video as well.

We found we wanted to charge each night on vacation (100-150 pics per day plus 5-10 min of video). It still showed a charge at end of day, but we forgot to charge one night and the next day it died after a few hours of use. It was kept on much of the day ready to shoot... At home, it lasted a few weeks on a charge of just shooting pics a little each day when kids were swimming.

Hello. I never actually timed it, but it seems like it only takes a few hours tops. It holds the charge good as we'll hope this helps a little.

It actually last awhile on a full charge. I've had mine last as little as a 10 days to lasting a full month and longer, depending on how much you use it. I was going to test out the using it while charging, but I seem to have misplaced the cord. This charge is still going from around 3 weeks or so ago. Give me 2 weeks and I tend to start losing things.Give me 2 weeks and I tend to start losing things. I'll find it and post back.
