My battery only lasts 20 minutes. Anyone have similar experiences?

Mine will go longer, but never enough to do the whole yard. But this is at the high speed setting.

I had one episode where the battery ran down very quickly - I actually thought I was going to have to take it in for service - but after recharging it's back to normal and I've had no problems since. Usually takes me about 30 minutes to do the yard, on combination of high and low speed (mostly low).

Iʻve found that if I have it on high speed my battery only lasts 30-40 minutes. On lower speed it may last an hour. Iʻve also found that if I donʻt turn it on and off when moving from place to place, it lasts longer. Hope this helps.

Do not store the battery in the trimmer after charging. There is a small current draw that will drain the battery.

Try using the low speed setting. My battery last for four cuttings each 15 minutes run time.

When you charge you'r battery, do NOT leave it in the trimmer when not in use. The Trimmer will drain the battery even when not being used. I leave the battery in the charger after I charge it, unplug the charger, but I store the battery in the charger until I need it.John.

Tom, I have been getting 40 to 45 minutes out of mine. if you are cutting a lot of thick stringy grass, I could see where it would use more power

I have not had any problems with the battery, it runs the trimmer for one hour on low speed. I did have a defective charger and CORE exchanged it for me.

I think I had the same issue. We used all the charge (drained) then let it fully charge. I believe the first time took approximately 12-16 hours. It does not charge quickly.

I haven't experienced that. But if the battery is not fully charged it will not last long.

I've had mine for quite a while. I love it and have had no problems. Keeps a charge for hours! Maybe you got a bad one.

Try different chargers. If it is all the way exhausted, plug it in and wait 20 minutes or so. Sometimes it doesn't respond for a while, until it has a little bit of charge. Good luck.

That's way too long. It seems to take longer than usual with some cheap batteries and with rechargeables. Even then, not 20 minutes. I'd double check that it's not the batteries if convenient and/or contact the seller/mfgr to see if they'll swap it for another one.

My battery life is fine. Some times batterys come defective. You may need a new battery. Or sometimes even a new charger. Hope this answers your ?.

With mine I may get 3.5 to 4 hours maybe, never really timed it. I do know that when I unplug it and go outside, it seems like within a 1/2 hour to 3/4 of an hour the battery indicator is down a ways.

I don't seem to have this problem. I've not timed it, but I'm pretty sure mine stays on for well over a minute. Perhaps playing with the settings?

It took mine about three months but then the battery suddenly died on me. I found that odd since I step on it for thirty seconds once a day, you would think the battery would last a lot longer than it did. I thought it was just mine, good to note that the battery thing wasn't just me.

I have played the unit for a good two hours with the battery. I almost always have it plugged in when I view it. I would see about returning the battery, or getting a new unit. Thats what I like about Amazon, I have never had a problem with a return or replacement.

There must be something wrong with the batteries or the unit. I can make it 20+ hours on the batteries.

Wow i thought i was the only one... i bought it just over a year and a half and mine has stopped holding its charge aswell. I believe a new battery would solve the problem though. If you find one please let me know aswell.

Yeah, I found leaving the battery out for 30 minutes helped as the problem didn't comeback until I unplugged it from recharging it. Sucks, I really like the camera.

I also don't have this problem -- The charge is supposed to last "up to 2 weeks" (see http://withings.zendesk.com/entries/24429918-Pulse-s-battery-life). I've only charged mine every few days so far and the battery indicator seemed fairly full each time.

I'm sorry I don't know the one I got does not hold a charge more than 20 minutes

I've had mine for a few weeks now and am consistently getting 7-8hrs depending on what I'm using it for. Could maybe even squeeze a bit more time out of it if I changed my power saving settings.
