What is the general lifespan of this charger before it goes bad?

Dont abuse/drop it and it should last years. I use cooling fans on my two that I have setup in a case. They never get warm, even during charging at the field on summer days.

I mean pretty good mine lasted about a year and a few months before it busted but that was because I tried to charge a huge battery

I use my old charger and never had a problem, takes about 3 hours to fully charge using standard wall charger on pc about 5 hours

We have had ours at least ten years - one charger, two units - my unit just died and I am getting another set to share with my daughter - two units, two chargers. The batter in my husband's unit is fine.

The charger has warning lights to show when the battery is charged or if it´s too hot and it should be removed from charger (or even when it is defected). In general, I keep it charging for 3-4 hours. It gets fully charged without overheating.

Believe me you will get plenty of service Life, and I plan on replacing it in another 10 years! Just keep it on the Charger, no Problems here, and it still works like new!

I've had mine for about 4 months, too, but haven't noticed any charging issues ... yet. They have a year guarantee so you might want to check with the manufacturer if you're experiencing problems.

When using it twice a day, it will usually last over a week. I usually pull out my charger and charge it for one day and them unplug the charger and put it away about every week to 10 days. This is true with a new one.

I'm using this with rechargeable batteries since around 5 months without any issues. The ones I'm using are from Eneloop (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009LU9150/ref=oh_details_o09_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1), wonderful capacity; charger I'm using is also from Eneloop only (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0058GZWXQ/ref=oh_details_o09_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

There could be one of two reasons for this.Usually it means that the battery is defective, or has become ineffective. Some batteries get to this point quicker than others.There is also a slight chance that the charger has gone bad

I've had no battery failures; I always charge it before I go on a trip. It's not been a problem.

The warranty is for 2 years. We have had 2 batteries to interchange with the charger for a year and a half with no problem.

Hello,In my experience using 3rd-party batteries, I have observed approximately a 10% failure rate. You might have gotten a bad one. You should check the charger with another battery to make sure.

I have been charging mine for years without any problems...I would think it would be the charger that is not working properly

Dated message, but pertinent. Charger (and eee 1000HE) worked fine for over a year, then charger started to die. Blue power light would only come on if I held the power supply in the correct position. This got harder and harder to do over time - to find that "right" position. Just found a replacement charger on line for $20 delivered. Try: www.chargerbuy.com

Sorry for the very late response, but I have been using my original battery charger and I have not had any issues over the past few months.

I've had no problems and I'm getting 2 - 3 days life until a charge is necessary. Sorry you are having problems.
