Is this wind-up or battery??

It winds up. The little knob is at the rear. It's a beautiful sturdy box. I don't think you will be disappointed.

It's a wind up. A beautiful, quality pice. Heavy, solid construction. It should last my granddaughter through adulthood.

I sent this off as a gift to Ethiopia so really can't answer your question but also read in the evaluation that the tuning was rather sensitive/touchy as well. Was mostly interested in the wind-up recharge facility because of the lack of access to batteries or power were it was being sent. Gratefully, by chance, the rechargeable battery is not type that is banned by the US postal service.

The battery is charged when the unit is running. My battery runs down over time so I usually have to pull start it the first time after prolonged storage. Once it has operated for about 1/2 hour or so, the battery seems to be fine.

How old is the battery? Is it trying to turn over? 12 hours should be enough to charge up the battery.

READ BEFORE DIAGNOSING A BAD BATTERY!!!I just received this item today and loved it my first 3 flights. I charged it back up, and then it wouldn't take off all the sudden. I immediately thought it was the battery not being charged enough and this thread made me think that even more. BUT, the more I tried to make it work I noticed the top rotor moved slower and slower.If you can pull the top rotor off without loosening screws, you've found the issue! There are two screws in the sides of the top rotor that tighten on the center pin that spins it. I tightened these and my entire issue was resolved, and I had IDENTICAL symptoms as the people above.Happy troubleshooting!

Hmm, good question. I wonder if the connection to the battery is bad? Maybe it was connected for the first 14 hours and then got jarred loose somehow? I would probably take the battery out and put it back in, making sure that the contacts seem to be clean and touching. If that doesn't do anything, I would call a local battery store and see if they have any way of testing the battery to see if it is good. If there is nothing obvious wrong with the battery, I would probably call the company that installed the unit and see if they have any suggestions. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I have no idea - don't have that problem. It could be the audio signal that your battery needs replaced.

Sam, I am not sure, but it sounds like a battery issue. Mine works from a half block away from my house. I assume you pulled the little battery saver piece all the way out.

Hi Mary, I'm on my computer now. Most likely since you have a 3500, your battery has a bad cell.

Sorry I don't have a clue, the one I have doesn't have a place for a battery either. Maybe someone at the factory decided to have a little fun and you were the recipient of their humor? The other side of it, maybe someone is short a 'mini flat battery'... Mine powers up when the computer starts up and shuts down when the computer is off, I leave mine plugged in all the time.

Its one big honking battery; the rest of the unit is just ten-twenty bucks of stuff to help push it around. If yours is dead and its not too old, see if the company will help you out. These big ones don't seem to be lasting very long at all.

turn your laptop upside down, the long strip at the top holds the battery. just lift it up and out and than replace with battery. What you are seeing is the actual battery itself, or rather the outside.

It sounds like battery. I would try different batteries and make sure it's in properly. Mine came backwards.

Erik, I may not be the right one to provide a feedback as I hardly used the scooter after I bought this battery last year. Having said that, I was surprised to see the battery had some juice left when I tried to start the scooter in the early spring couple of days ago. By the way, my scooter was in the garage all winter and I did not detach the batter all winter. Hope, this helps.

It is showing this because the battery is third party and not supported. Mine does the same thing and I'll be returning it.

Any spinning device is AC, somewhere it has to be converted to DC. You can destroy a battery by overcharging it.
