After I purchased two TT850 and one TT860 and additional battery, I got the following message from the distributor I purchased them from: "We are writing because we were notified by our distributor that some stock we received of Neewer TT850/TT860 speedlights were supplied with the incorrect battery which doesn't perform as it is intended. If your TT850/TT860 battery hasn't performed as expected please let us know, as we have replacements available to send out. " At the time I hadn't had a problem...however while shooting a wedding this weekend one of the batteries stopped working. I could turn the unit off and then on and it would work again (but for only 1-2 flashes). Fortunately I had the back-up battery and had no problems the rest of the evening. I plan to get this battery replaced...hopefully quickly!

there was a specific lot of batteries associated with this flash that were bad. you may have gotten it. i would return for another.

Might be a faulty or dead battery. You might have left it empty for too long.I own 5 of the 850 and 2 of yhe 860 and they work great. I do have a feeling one of my (7) batteries isnt holding a charge as well as the others but I havent run any tests yet.Typically I can do a 10 hour wedding on 2 batteries.

it sounds like you have a battery issue. I ordered 3 flashes and 1 of them had a faulty battery.

My wife has made that by mistake on a couple occasions. It does not seem to damage the unit, however it does not fully charge properly. When you go to charge it the next time in the off position it will fully charge.

From what i can tell it terminates charge, but i have not put it on a dmm. Maybe ill check it later. So far battery life appears to have increased a bit from first use

Same here - only used it a few times. Took it out to start using regularly - removed and changed batteries (no corrosion) and it won't work!

I dropped it once about 4 feet and it was fine but it landed on asphalt.... Scratched the skin on the flashlight, but the bulbs were fine and there was no apparent damage nor decrease in Lumen output

I've never had a problem; it's easy to remove and replace the battery cover. I supposed if it's dropped it would break.

HelloI have not had that problem with this product, but i have not left the battery off for more than 3 days so far. Battery was still fully charged. This case works great. I have enjoyed having it

Well mine is pretty new, so I do not have this problem yet, but I did read about that in some of the reviews. I put mine in the case after each use so it does not get banged up. Hope this helps.

I'm trying to remember, because we stopped using it when the battery died (too early). I believe it was steady about every second. We only used it in flash mode once.

I would guess you just got a defective battery. My experience has been fantastic. I use it almost every night. The beam is brighter than any comparable flashlight I've ever owned. I haven't ever had any problem with the battery holding a charge, and it lasts for a long time. Did you charge it fully before use? You should have. Also, the instructions say to plug it back into the charger after every use. I do this even if I only use it for two or three minutes. Unless you've had it a long time, Black and Decker is pretty good about standing behind their warranties. I'd give them a call.

No it works totally perfectly! The case definitely doesn't obstruct the flash. (Side note: seriously it's the best case ever. Mine has held up perfectly for about a year and a half now! No complaints at all!)

Make sure you have the 2 parts of the pen tightly pressed together. If they are, the battery shouldn't move to lose contact. But then again, it is a bit like a flashlight and if you drop a flashlight a couple of times it won't work all the time either. :-)

I haven't had this problem. Have you dropped or bumped the camera? I was a Teenage Wac Photographer in the 60's. If there are any mechanical components in the camera, dropping, banging &/or dirt could cause a problem. Someone with more knowledge of digtal cameras might give a better answer. This sounds like a computer chip or program problem.

I used mine for a short time and never had an experience dropping it. But from the material, it'll protect it to a degree. The silicone is very flimsy. It makes any picture you take with a flash green. As far as protection...it'll protect it more than if your phone had no case at all.

hi clint, I actually have had a problem recently, I dropped my gun with it on the versacarry, my gun was protected by the versacarry but it broke, I glued a thin aluminum plate on and it works great again.

Mine was good. It was not initially charged but it charged up fine and it holds a charge OK so I didn't have to buy a new drill. If yours will not hold a charge, then that is a problem.

Perhaps the battery has been moved, maybe during delivery it was banged a few times. It really is a simple to use device. If it's new I would suggest to return it and buy a new one.
