Try at least one healthy charge every month, that is allow the battery to run completely down to 0%, then recharge back to 100%,allow charging to continue while on 100% for maybe 2hrs.

I suggest you install the program (Du Battery Saver) and complements and increases the battery performance... Actually to me it going very well with this change.

Turn of bluetooth and wifi when not using them. From google play store download and use free battery saver program or similar. I just use and drain mine on a regular basis nightly I never completely drain it. It gives me 1.5-2.5 days or so on regular basis when the saving suggestions I gave u and works good enough for me. In the summer I go on week long cycling trips and use a solar battery panel from Valahalla hooked on the back of my camelback water pack. I can go for over day that way with my gps endomondo program and music playing. Hope this helps.

Contact the seller. I've had this battery for 2 or 3 years and have not had this issue.

I ended three years of use four months ago and my battery is now dying out as well. I used to finish my lawn with one charge, now it takes two. I am contemplating the purchase of another battery, but at $149 it is definitely causing some sticker shock.

I've had this unit since November 2013 and have not had good luck with the battery holding a charge. I have contacted Waterpik and hopefully they have a solution. I will follow up here when they respond.

No - I have been using mine about 6 weeks now, but within two weeks it went from an excellent charge to a "good charge." it took my manufacturer's battery five years to change the rating.

10 times longer is not very useful.... If your old battery was severely crippled it could have been charging very quickly because it had so little capacity left. Fast charge & fast discharge is not what you want.I'd let it charge over night and see if it makes it through the next day. If the run time is long, do you really care how long it takes to charge? Just let it charge up overnight.

No. The battery is double AA. I changed battery after 2months. I used it often that's why. But if you will not use it so much maybe the battery will take more than 2months.

It plays fine for me after a full charge, although I don't play it very long at a time. Probably 2 hours max play time. I did drain it fully the first time after I charged it fully - and it took over 2 hours to drain, but I only turned off all power save features, and was not using any network. My complaint with the battery is that it drains when NOT in use. So, I have it fully charged, and then 2 weeks later it is completely dead. It does charge up again ok. The reason I purchased this one is that the battery has a 1 yr warranty.

Hello Linda. I bought this battery just last year when the original died of natural causes. At most, this sucker last me about an hour to an hour and a half after it's been fully charged. Might not seem like much mind you, but I tend to use the internet a lot and stream things online, and different pages up at once. The less you use, the longer it'll last bit I was reall happy when I got it. And instalation is pretty simple. Let me know if this does/doesn't solve your riddle. I will try again for you. Please have a good evening.

I had similar experience. Try ordering a new AC adapter cord too. My battery now holds the full charge and its been 2 months and its still okay.

Did you charge the battery for the length of time indicated in the instruction manual prior to use? The first time or two I used mine the battery ran down pretty fast. After recharging it, the battery definitely held a charge longer than it did initially. If it continues to not maintain the charge as long as you think it should, I would contact the manufacturer or return it.

Hi this battery is in effective. At full charge...the battery dumps the charge and computer shuts down immediately. I am not happy at all with this battery.

This battery did not last long for me. It held a decent charge for about 1 month. It then drained quick on me. I had to have it plugged in to outlet all the time. I no longer have my laptop. I would not buy battery again.

That is a great question. I really haven't noticed it being drained too much after no use. To be honest, I haven't really tested that too much. I think mine is dead right now. I would think it's like every other battery and it will lose some charge after no use. Just don't know how much.Regardless, it's a great device and I love it. It's saved me several times.

My battery would not hold a charge. I returned it within the first thirty days. I could sit and watch the battery drain while looking at the computer screen.
