When should I use the refresh function? I use 1 battery per month over 4 months.Should I use refresh every time I charge my battery set?

Based on my experience with this product, the batteries last a very long time. The only time I use the charger is when all four spots can be filled. I have been using this product for years and I love these batteries. They are better than any of the store brands that recharge. I hope this helped you but you don't want to overcharge the batteries either so it is wiser to recharge at bedtime so when you wake up they are fully charged. Good luck

I refresh at every charge. All it does is drain the battery all the way before it charges. And that is the best way to make batteries last. But there's nothing wrong with just charging up if you need them quickly

It says that because your battery will charge so many times before that message comes up. Each charge is called a cycle. The computer will advise you to look into a new battery once you hit a certain number. If your battery still seems reliable I think you should be alright.

Hi Guapo, Thank you for your inquiry! You will need to charge the battery at least once every three months to ensure that the battery in the unit does not die. There is not a set amount of time that the unit is supposed to last, however, it is covered by a 1 year manufacturer's warranty. Best regards, Earthtech Products

I have been using the battery for a couple months and I haven't had that problem. It doesn't seem to charge consistently though.I have not been happy with battery performance.

I use mine a lot. What I have seen is the more I use them the better the battery seems to hold up. I never have to wait on a battery

If the refresh mode does not do it the battery may be be young hope. You can always try flashing a battery. For that procedure, check out tube videos

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.

Most likely you have to charge the new battery first before you can use it. These type of rechargeable slowly discharge themselves even if it is not used. The fully charged battery usually depletes in several months. The new battery may or may not have some charge left, depending how long it has been on the shelf. Also, it is recommended to fully charge the new battery before the first use.

I drained my battery 100% the first 4 charges. I wouldn't recommend plugging it in everyday as it can decrease the life of the battery. Once your battery is drained to 5-10% after your first 4 full drains, You'll be fine to plug it in. This is what I did. I also made sure that once a month I completely drained the battery. It exercises the battery and keeps it in good health just like when we exercise.

It is said that you should charge it every time after using it, but I didn't charge the device for more than a month with almost everyday usage

First use NEW batteries. I thought my so-called NEW batteries were fresh and up to charge. They were not! Get a battery tester. Once I had batteries that had a full charge It started without having to do it manually. I do not manually do it any different than the other six answers in any major aspect. I had to start it manually until I realized that I had new batteries that did not have a full charge. Now it works fine without having to resort to manual operation.

Depends I have about 3 to 4 hours on batt live at one time, it can be up two 6-7 if you are not using a lot of apps! Some people say 12 hours(hard to believe though.)

Thanks for your inquiry. All batteries are only charged with 50%-70% capacity when we shipped it out in order to avoid any dangerous occurrence happen. Usually, please don't use it up when you first install it and please kindly try to charge it around 12 hours at the first time, and then discharge it. Please do this cycle for 3-5 times continuously. This will help to activate the battery.

I just started having the same problem.According to the manual here are some possible causes and solutions.Life of rechargeable battery has expiredInsert a new rechargeable battery.Rechargeable battery is being charged or refreshed in temperatures either too high or too low.Charging and refreshing temperatures should range between 32°F - 95°F (0°C - 35°C).Charging incorrect types of batteries.Charge only a Ni-MH rechargeable battery.

Most Li-ion battery manufacturers recommend that you charge fully, remove from charger as soon as possible after battery is charged and don't let them run down completely. I usually re-charge mine when they are about 30 percent remaining. I keep a spare battery and rotate them whenever I can. Manufacturers also don't recommend storing a fully charged battery for extended periods. That's why I rotate mine. I have never heard a reason for not storing a fully charged battery - maybe someone else has the answer to that.
