Can anyone comment on what the proper battery care is if you own three total batteries? When you only really use just one on a normal basis..

Keep the extra batteries clean, dry and fully charged. Also, rotate the batteries for use. Why have three if you only use one. Not sure if not using them causes issues, but it can not hurt to rotate their use. Best of luck. Alan

First of all store them fully charged. Keep them cool (not cold, above freezing) Don't run the battery all the way down before charging it. Lithium Ion batteries don't develop a memory so change them often while using. Alternate between the batteries.

I agree, need to replace all when one goes... Love the game! Batteries lasted approx. 8 hours... looking for reasonable priced ones ourselves...

Well, this unit is just bad. Send it back, have another one sent out. I've had mine at least 3 years, maybe more and I use it for all things with batteries. It's been a good unit, your unit is just bad.

You know I went on vacation early November to PR and I have to say I survived ALL DAY on one battery. But, I don't use flash, and I don't chimp. I just shot jpg+raw, with a few short videos, under a minute. I would only charge the battery back at the hotel overnight. I was there three days, and returned with about 1300 images. No problems running out of juice.If I were to get another battery I would swap them out each charge. I would not let either the original battery, or the replacement sitting idle. I would run one down, then swap it out, let the worn battery charge...

I bought the same several months back and did not have any issues with it. Did you have 2 battery in yours when you encountered the issue? I only used mine with 2 batteries.

Yes it's normal.. To get the most use, fully discharge and re charge 4-5 times. You will see a longer lasting battery

Defective Battery. I store mine in the house all winter. Over-exposure to the cold can deplete even an ION/Lithium cell faster than normal. Had it about three years, has enough charge to get my mid-sized lot/yard done. I recommend having a second battery if you can afford one anyhow, so both are ready to go if one dies out, the job can be finished. Still cheaper than using Gas, just as effective, if not more. Plus, if you can manage to get a solar charger, the possibilities are endless.

I know that it had a charge, but regardless, I always try to put my batteries through a full charge and drain cycle as many times as possible when I first get them. It helps condition the batteries for max performance.

Yes you just need to clean it mine was blinking but with no KILL. Had over 20 kills on a new set of Duracell Batteries and when I used a battery tester they were still 90 percent. I would defiantly recommend Duracell for a fast reliable kill.

Mine is still working well, however, I just use it occasionally. If you are sure that your batteries are good, I have no idea what's wrong with it. You can try contacting their customer service.

I have had mine close to 8-10 years, and have changed the batteries 3 times at most. I only do small areas though like the upper lip. Are you doing multiple areas at once or larger areas like your legs? I haven't had the same problem with mine. Can you exchange yours? :/

My experience has been very good... Over Christmas for example, I had a battery last me for a few days, and that's with shooting probably 20 photos and a little video each day. On trips where I'm doing a lot of shooting I may go through a battery each day and recharge at night. Since I have two batteries I just cycle them through and am never lacking a charged battery. When I got my camera, a firmware update made battery life significantly better... Could be the same for you.Best of luck!

Personally I would ever leave any battery in unattended or just for discharge purposes. I was always told it is not safe to do so.

Yeah, I almost balked at the 'must charge in pairs' requirement when I made the buy a few weeks ago, but the price was right, and 2 out of my 3 uses for the batteries will be in pairs. The third device uses 3 AA, so I'll have to figure that one out. Thanks, again for the info!

thank you very much for your prompt reply. I completely understand and agree with your point. I had not known each battery was packaged separately. Greatly appreciated.

Going by the comment section I ordered 3 batt. The reason for doing this was to have an extra battery because I was going to be away from any charging source for 3-4 days. Two of the battries were good the other one loses it's charge quickly.

you can remove and replace batterys great idea!I was considered the the same thing as we'll.here are the isues I have run into so far . Extra battery's expensive. Extra batterys are heavy. And you still have to transport the trey and charge eventually too
