How is the battery life? How long it takes to recharge the battery? Once charged how long the battery lasts? Any known problems with batteries?

The battery life is pretty decent. You can probably get about 2 hours or more depending on if it is heavy use or light. The battery once it is completely discharged takes about 3 hours. Youll know it is fully charged because the blue light will show a full glow instead of just half. The battery has a built in feature to keep it from overcharging so you can leave it on the charging base when not in use. I love it because it is powerful enough to get a good clean without all the cords.

I have never run out of battery life, but I use it for a few minutes up to 10 minutes at a time, daily. I always keep it charged. Super easy, no problems. Also, no loss of suction power (I have had it over a year now).

You can charge it in about 2 or 3 hours. I found a trick that if you make sure it stays cool, it will charge quicker and discharge slower. Not a bad battery.

Battery life is pretty good. I keep one in my car with a rechargeable AA and it'll stay good for about 3-4 weeks until I start noticing it get dim. But that's only about 4-7 uses out of that time.

I charged it for 24 hours the first time. After that I just let it charge over night. You'll be amazed how long it lasts between charges. Hope this helps.

Im not sure what the battery life is supposed to be, but mine lasted easily 2 months on a single charge with an average of 1-2 hrs of use every day. They provide you with a charging cable for it, which you can charge from a usb port on your comp. The only annoying part is having it die when you're in the middle of using it, as the cable is not very long (1-2 feet, or something) and it makes it awkward to hold. But if you remember to charge it once a month or so, depending on how much you use it, you shouldn't run into that problem. As for replacements if the pen shits the bed altogether, it looks like they're sold for 10-15 USD Im not sure what the battery life is supposed to be, but mine lasted easily 2 months on a single charge with an average of 1-2 hrs of use every day.

Hasn't been a problem for me but the more I read, the more I see owners having 'issues' with power-related matters (not fully charging, etc.). The battery on the unit itself seems to perform well under stated times and (for me) is slow to recharge. Good luck with it.

I'm not sure on the battery life, if that's what you're asking, or how the build quality is. Build quality is ok, nothing too nice. Battery's are built in and rechargeable.

I have used it a couple of times, the battery lasted about 6 hours the first time, once I charged it fully it lasted about 12 hours and I haven't charged yet since. hope that helps.

Sorry took so long to answer...battery life is maybe three days- I have to charge up every other day to make sure it doesn't die on me.

Battery life is very solid. I work 8-12 hr days with it and I would estimate batteries require replacing roughly every month to month and a half. I would note that I tend to leave it on all the time and it goes to sleep when not in use. You only need to click to wake it back up again. Am pleased with battery life (I find re-chargeable batteries are a good investment).

In my experience it can take anywhere from 1-6 hours. I have several things I use this type of battery and am not sure what batteries came with this light. The charge time will depend on the capacity of the battery (higher mAh will take longer), how much it has been discharged, and condition of the battery. As a battery ages it takes longer to charge. Completely discharging the battery before recharging will also reduce battery life. Sorry I've gone a bit long, you can go to batteryuniversity.com to learn about all batteries.

It lasts for about 20+ minutes, but I don't use it for long except for short sessions. Please note, it's best when the battery is allowed to drained and then recharged to prevent memory effect. Most folks set it back in the charger which is the worse thing you can do.

I've had phone calls of up to 2 hours with no problems. Keep in mind the battery capacity will diminish over time. After about 2 years I was getting only about an hour between charges, but the battery recharges pretty quickly.

Battery life is pretty good. I like it because it is rechargeable. Just plug it into an outlet.

I haven't had any issues. I have left it on the charger for a few days and I have not seen a difference in battery life.

I'm not sure what the battery life is. I got mine last year and used it the entire season and had no issues. I just powered it up now to answer your question and mine still works great.

Great Questions. I have had mine for almost a year. I use it several times a week and it is great. It charges in little sunlight. I experienced discharge of battery and replaced the battery after a year ( keeping in mind I used it on a daily basis but I let it sit for about 4 months). My suggestion is to remove the battery for long term storage or when you need to use it or only putting battery in once every month to recharge if needed. I have found it very useful when camping, in the office, and in power outages for getting emergency alerts when the power goes out. From my understanding you should be able to find a replacement battery (only one needed) on amazon for around $10 (Ambient Weather WR-BATT 3.7V / 800 mAh Rechargeable Battery (LIR123A)) . One of the reasons I chose this unit is because the rechargeable battery could be changed. Allot of these rechargeable type units the battery can not be changed. But overall the reception is good, all the charging options are included with the unit, the unit recharges small electronics, and it is compact and lightweight. The volume is not overly loud, some may want a louder unit but i think it is loud enough. I would recommend this unit if you are looking at alternatives like this one for a reasonable price.
