Is it true that it only works 1 time during the period? For example, if my battery fails and they replace it they won't fix any further issues?

IF u have a 3 year warranty they should be able to fix your camera anytime it breaks during that time.

I don't believe that to be the case. As I understand it, the camera can be repaired multiple times. However, the total cost of the repairs cannot exceed the original insured value of the camera. For complete information, you should contact Square Trade

I got two in a row and they worked well for a minute and then died. I thought something was wrong with it, but I guess it may be the batteries...that is ridiculous. We only used it like 3 times.

I don't know what these guys are talking about it only lasting 8 or 12 hours between charges. What are they doing with it? I work on my computer 8 hours a day and have to recharge the battery every few months or so. What am I missing?

Ours only charged once and was used once and then it would not charge again. We are retuning it to the company but we are not sure if they will be doing anything to fix the problem.

nope...I just received it a few days ago & have used it twice & that hasn't been a problem. it works great & for $19 u can't go wrong. doesnt have all the bells & whistles (programming) that I would never use, anyway

Great timing with your question. I bought one of these a little while ago and went to use it for only the second time this past weekend.....(I use it as a back up when my main battery is depleted).....the first use was brief, as I only needed a few minutes battery time. This weekend, the battery was fully depleted in a matter of minutes (no more than 5 min) and on subsequent recharges, continues to work just as poorly. I am very disappointed. Don't know if this is the norm or not, but if it is, buyer beware.....

Yes it is true, i do not have a good experience as i could only charge the said peice once and then there after it didn't charged. Can't comment anything thus.

I can confirm what the last poster said. Just got one and it gives erroneous readings with 1 cell and the buzzer does not work with 1 cell. I plugged it to into the balance connector on a 3 cell and it works great.The checker does NOT work on 1S, only 2S and higher, even though description says it will work on 1S.

When that happens I just replace the battery. It always works. Sorry. (Maybe try a different new battery?)

Sorry, have no experience with that. All I know is that I installed it and it is still working. For the price paid I think it is probably worth the risk, considering that one battery in the store costs as much as the multi pack you get thru this site.

We don't use it continuously , so actually don't know how long it lasts at one time. It doesn't loose power as it is used and has a shut off warning before it actually stops. This is to protect the battery, and it's a great feature for the user as well. One of the best investments in our tool chest! GET ONE . . . You won't regret it.

Mine didn't last that long, it had some battery issues, so i can't tell you if that's a recurring problem in the product line or if you just got a bad unit. Sorry

I experienced one similar incident the first time I used the battery but it has never repeated. I am coming upon three months.

Same here. When I asked IF they said using batteries that weren't IF brand would nullify my lifetime warranty. They shwed me why they didn't work either--they're slightly different. Ask for a refund from Amazon. I got it easily. Then buy only IF batteries. :(

I've had that happen once since I bought mine (feb 06) and I got it to work again by taking the battery out for about fifteen minutes and putting it back in and it was back to normal. I disagree about it not being tough though, since mine falls off the seat of my work truck and onto the floor at least twice a week and I use it every day.

In my experience, it works some of the time. It is not a fail safe mechanism. We had to make a lot of adjustments before it finally worked for the first time but even then it still drifts away some of the time.
