Thanks Bob. I just don't like throwing it away since the bulbs are still good and will last for a very long time.

I've had a couple of these and even when new I don't get more than an hour out of a charge. Currently it's about 30-45 minutes. I've never found the batteries to replace the original and my belief is they aren't replaceable. I just buy another WLB26B since they are relatively cheap and I like them because of the light output.

If you find out let me know, mine is junk too. Just plug it in and use it that way till bulbs burn out?

Should be around 8 hours. I found mine wasn't working so I open up the battery compartment and found the battery wasn't hooked up. Once I hook the battery up to the unit it work perfectly. Your battery could be disconnect hence is not holding the charge. Worth looking into this. Good luck.

Take the battery out and bring it with to the store. I think they only come in packs of twos and around 15 bucks. Try not to leave the battery in while not in use because it will drain it really fast. good luck

It is a built in Lithium battery. So, I'm assuming no way to replace it.They are asking me to assume the charge of shipping and send a $9.95 check for possible repairs because mine stopped working.That would probably be what you would need to do if yours needed a new battery. Since I've had mine less than 6 months I'm not a happy camper.Probably will not send it back. (This is their idea of a guarantee, I guess.)

Unscrew the bottom and remove batteries. Replace with new batteries of supported size. Screw the bottom back on. Voila!

Wow i thought i was the only one... i bought it just over a year and a half and mine has stopped holding its charge aswell. I believe a new battery would solve the problem though. If you find one please let me know aswell.

I would immediately send it back. It has to be defective. My two batteries work just fine. They take the charge and hold it until you are ready to use them. Sorry to hear you had trouble. These are hi-tech units and I do suppose that they are a little temperamental.

probably the battery is defective, contact the manufacturer for a replacement.

You can restore the battery to original by discharging the battery . Leave the unit on with the microphone sensitivity to its highest next to a TV or RADIO until the battery is drained then recharge the battery its takes about 5 hr. If that doesn't work call customer service 888-452-2269

I am sorry, I had the same problem. I ended up throwing it away and ordering a new one! I did not see any way to open it and replace a battery.

Very easy...turn the device over..there is a round cap with a slot in it..place a coin in the slot..turn it counterclockwise..the cap will pop off.. pry the battery out taking notice which side of the battery is facing up..replace the new battery the same way.. replace the cap. It is a good idea to check the battery in both the sending and receiving units..I own 3 of these.. and 2 of them had weak old batteries rite out of the box.. I really like them.

I have one too, does it need a new battery or charged? I'm sure you've taken it apart and tried cleaning it. How long have you had yours?

My girlfriends did the same thing, and what I did was drain the battery down using the led light. Once it was almost dead I charged it for 2 days, and now it seems to be working fine.

I understand your problem, but as I have not had a similar experience, I can only theorize as to a solution. It sounds as though you may have a defective or worn out battery; like any other battery, this one may last only so long. If this is the case and there is a warranty on the battery, you may be able to obtain a replacement by contacting the manufacturer. It's either that or purchase a new battery. Sorry.

The battery is severely discharged. You have only about 2 hours or less left of the charge. Connect the Power Supply cable to the Charger/Controller's Power Input Jack.

It might be a bad battery. The batteries on these things aren't the best. You should be able to pick up a new batery online for $40 or so.
