I haven't had any issues with mine, knock on wood. However, I know you can contact the company directly and they should replace it or at least be able to point you in the right direction.

Mine died too in less than a month. It's a cheap piece of junk. I didn't have my receipt either. I threw it away.

yes and it died after about 400 hours. It's a lemon. Do I get a new one based on 10,000 claim?

My battery has been working fine. I am not sure what battery you're talking about. I used it for over 3 weeks and just had to recharge it today. I am guessing they are shipping with better batteries.

I tried the rechargeable AA and they worked fine. The ceiling light wasn't the problem...it was the remote "wall switch" that wasn't any good. I would use it once or twice, and the battery would be dead. Bought replacement batteries at two different stores (in case batteries hadn't moved off store shelf and were old), and the same thing happened. Very disappointing.

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.

It has happened to us as well. Amazon handled the problem fast and provided us a new unit quickly. However it failed after two weeks ago. It also went dead. I am returning this one too.

That's odd... I used mine for over a year before the batt died on me. Maybe you can contact their technical team and see what they say.

I only had to plug it in. Try it in 3 different locatoons. If it's still dead, contact the seller.

Most likely a power cord issue. Usually a dying battery would have signs of low storage, instead of suddenly not working, though the port itself may be warped. Try leaving it on the chage an hour then try turning it back on.

My battery was dead when it arrived. I contacted Midland and they sent me a new battery. Given that these are not lithium-ion batteries they will continue to die out pretty quick. I'm rather disappointed by that.

The battery it came with lasted about three weeks. I suggest buying name brand batteries. They last longer.

I must AMMEND my former statement!!! A DUMMY battery is NOT A DEAD one. They are actually sold as dummies by companies and are cheap. I was lucky enough to have been corrected by RbwNY on July 7th. He/she informed me of this and added that pairing a 'dead' battery with the Li-on s can cause damage, etc. to the equipment. I should have known this as I know that pairing even an alkaline with a on-alkaline is NOT recommended. My apologies to everyone out there who has read my former comment. And a BIG THANKS to RbwNY for the help and advice!!!

Sorry I returned mine when it died after 3 months. Amazon was great about the return.
