When the battery charges can I expect to turn on the unit a week later and have enough battery to do a couple of labels? Next day mine is dead.

You need a new battery pack! The battery charge should normally last for at least a week.

Interesting. I was under the impression that I had a faulty device, as I'm seeing the same behavior.

The fully charged battery does not last long. Mine is also dead the next day.

Yes, waiting until the battery is totally dead....or close as possible....seems to help batteries like this last longer each day well as for the life of it.

I charged it overnight. Don't know how long it takes for it to start working.

I agree w/others- don't wait to charge it, because when the battery dies, it turns off right away, there's not necessarily a couple minutes warning like most devices. My experience is that when it dies, give it an hour or 2 to charge & stick a pin in the back "reset" hole. I like my Le Pan, haven't really had any issues w/it, though the keyboard can be pretty slow & twitchy at times, Firefox crashes on & off, but that happens w/pretty much any device because Firefox can be unstable in itself.*typing this from my Le Pan :)

Did not have unit long enough. But from what I saw. You needed to turn on and off to save the battery, but believe when not in use very little battery drain occurrs. So day to day I was not going to turn it off and see if I could get by with 3-4 days w/o a charge.

I also charged mine for 24 hours, actually longer cause I charged it in the guest bathroom. Anyway, I pressed the button and while holding it you slide it up and it turns on. Maybe charge it longer and if that doesn't work it might be a defected one. Hope you can figure it out, otherwise you'll have to send it back and wait to get another one. I love mine, so it would be worth the wait if you had to return it.

My unit came charged out of the box, worked for a week and didnt even run out before I charged it overnight anyways. Aside from initial charge, which i didnt pay attention to how long it took, I have charged it from dead at night to full 7 hrs later when I woke up so definitely doesnt take 24 hrs to charge

The light is supposed to turn off when the battery is charged. If it only works when plugged in, that defeats the purpose. I'd contact the maker. Sounds like yours is defective. BTW, did some long workshops this summer. did recharge during the lunch breaks. The battery seems to last about 7.5 hours.

We just had a similar incident with one of ours. we just let it run itself down till there was NO battery life left. I almost threw it out because I thought it was broken! I decided to charge it one more time to see if I could get it to work and it had reset itself and came on and worked properly. just let it go till it is dead dead dead and then try recharging it and see if that works

I'd give it a few hours plugged in time to charge the battery. If that doesn't work, I suppose it's defective.

I must AMMEND my former statement!!! A DUMMY battery is NOT A DEAD one. They are actually sold as dummies by companies and are cheap. I was lucky enough to have been corrected by RbwNY on July 7th. He/she informed me of this and added that pairing a 'dead' battery with the Li-on s can cause damage, etc. to the equipment. I should have known this as I know that pairing even an alkaline with a on-alkaline is NOT recommended. My apologies to everyone out there who has read my former comment. And a BIG THANKS to RbwNY for the help and advice!!!

I'd start with the battery. If the unit has not been used in a while, the battery probably has lost it's ability to be charged.

I left my Neuron plugged in to recharge the battery overnight to see if it will power my mower again just to make sure and it started again after I press the start button. So I don't know why it did not start yesterday. I thought it had died. I am so confuse right now. My be the connection between the battery and the mower was loose. I will try to do some mowing just to make sure that it will run OK. Sorry for all the trouble.

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.

Have to agree with the other respondent... I did not have any problems with the units. As long as the batteries you are using are fresh, it should just start right up. Otherwise, it sounds like the unit is defective.

George answered perfectly. It will take sometime for initial charge. If it doesn't charge, call and return immediately. Time sensitive warranty. Instructions for inserting battery should be with printer.

You could use a Lith battery. When you get the unit test it immediately. The unit I received had a defective manual function.
