It works for 30 mins at most and then stops, even though my battery shows 3/4 bars. Anyone else experience this?

Although I haven't timed it, that's about what I get and I would think that's pretty good. I cut a medium-sized backyard to keep from killing pet turtles with our rotary mower. When it quits, all the lights are out, though. Since they are integrated into the battery, that's probably where the problem is but those things are way expensive. Has this happened more than once?

I have not had that problem...I am able to get 3 trimmings out of the battery.

I haven't had that issue with mine either. I use mine mainly for edging which puts a greater strain on the battery. My battery will normally last between 30 and 45 minutes and all lights go out. I would definitely call their customer service and ask about it.

I haven't had that problem. Mine works great. I would suggest checking out the warranty. Good luck.

I haven't had that problem either. I was able to trim my yard 4 times before I had to recharge. My lot is 60 by 150 feet with several flower beds.

Check batt with volt meter. Less than 7volts will do that. Battery might be hosed. Try the boost mode.

I had same problem...it's either an internal battery or charger issue and it's not fixable...just return it. The new one I got (same model) works though.

It does work when it's plugged in, just kind of annoying and it recommends not to. But I have before haha. There is no battery indicator light either which is kind of odd, so you kind of just hope it lasts or that it's charging. Haven't had any problems about it not charging but its still strange.

I think you may have gotten a defect battery because I only charged mine for an hour or 2 when I first got it. (I disconnected it because the charged light turned green) and I was able to use it all day yesterday and today. I still haven't gotten the low batter indicator.

I think you may need to exchange it. Mine has never run out that quick. I get a very long battery run from it.

I tested mine yesterday, It was a 1 bar and it took 3 hours to come to full charge. Hope this help you with a guideline.

I cannot say what is wrong with yours...but I just tested mine. The extra battery charged fine in the cradle portion of the device. I then attached a USB charging cable from the USB port to my phone and it also showed a charging current. So mine does appear to be working properly. Try a different cable from the USB port, and if it is not providing any power "out", then I suspect your item may be defective.

After my first charge began to decrease to one or two bars and I had not used it for a couple of days, I turned it on to check the battery level and it went to a green screen and then to a blank screen. I put it on the charger and got no reaction. Left it on charger for a couple of hours, still just a bland screen. Unplugged it and pushed in the reset button under the battery. Did this a couple of times and finally got the regular power up screen. Have charged battery several times since and all has continued to work well. Hope this helps. Try the reset several times if it doesn't work the first time.

Try removing the battery and reinstall it...mine stopped working after few days and that worked for me.

After you plugged the attachment did you reboot the phone before trying to charge? are you judging it is not working because the lighting symbol is not showing up? that happens on my first gen MotoX... i use a third party app (Curve fish battery widget) to indicate that charging is happening.

I haven't experienced that problem,may be a short in whatever you plugged it into. The only problem I have is it don't stay charged for very long other than that I think it delivers as advertised .

Yes, I had exact the same behavior last weekend. I didn't used the device for 2 month and when I want to connect it, it didn't worked because of the empty battery. It's good that I tested it before, so I had enough time to charge it before the presentation, 1h was enough for the 30 min presentation.

No, not for me. I have made sure to discharge my battery though. In unplugging and using battery only, after a full charge that procedure ensures proper battery capacity.

Yes, it has happened to me as well. It depends on what I am doing. Sometimes if I try and charge while playing certain games the battery still has the warning it is getting low. and then there are the times that it charges. I guess it depends on how much battery use is required for each app that is in use. I found it useful to shut it down and charge while not in use. It seems to charge a lot faster that way.

I'm having the same trouble with mine......it just flashes a red battery warning symbol and won't take a charge no matter how long it's on the charger.

Hi there! I've been using this battery for a month in that same model and had no problems so far. Maybe it's a faulty one. If i were you, i would contact Anker support service. =)
