Does anybody else have issues with the battery life? Even with very light use, mine can't make it 24 hours without dying.

Yes, u gotta charge every 24 hrs at least. Its one of the few pains, esp. when traveling.

My phone got pretty poor battery life (maybe 1 day or so) until I turned off the keypad light (menu --&gt; settings --&gt; backlight --&gt; duration to off). Now it gets a few days, not great, but not horrible. Your phone or charger is (or was) certainly defective--10 minutes is ridiculous. Alan

Thanks for the reply! I also frequent notebookreview.com....I received my UL30A-A2 today, though, and will put it through the battery test hoops over the next couple of days. Even if it is not the advertised 16 hours 12 hours is still absolutely excellent imo!

sorry for the delay. Battery life is 3 hours or more. I have not pushed it to its limits though. Sorry.

My girlfriends did the same thing, and what I did was drain the battery down using the led light. Once it was almost dead I charged it for 2 days, and now it seems to be working fine.

We are having the same issue. Been using almost every day for over a year, and even after changing the battery there are issues. The battery case actually is corroding inside! Want to contact company to see suggested lifespan. Otherwise, we've loved it so far!!!

I had the thing on a medium volume on Saturday, and it wasn't even on a full charge and it was still going when i brought the speaker inside 7-8 hours later. I use it all the time and have yet to use it for enough time for the battery to run out. Amazing battery life.

I have left mine plugged in 24/7 for about 6 months now and it definitely took its toll. The TRYM II is no longer at full power. I went away for a week last week and I pulled it off the charging station only to have it at about half power, which doesn't trim very well. Going to look for a replacement battery pack but at this price level I may just chuck it and buy a new model.

Sad to hear you're having this problem. This has been my experience with this product. I love it, but unfortunately I've had three of them die like this. I'd recommend returning it if you just got it and get a replacement..

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.

Wow thats crazy, my daughter uses hers for 6 to 7 hours straight, on netflix,youtube,games or apps. She doesnt put it down, she does EVERYTHING on it and only has to fully charge it at night before going to bed, that takes a couple hours though, at least 2 but not sure. If yours is only good for 3 hours thats a big problem , thats not even half of how long its supossed to go, usually when a product says the battery lasts a certain amount its usually not even close to that but I was very surprised when ours actually lasted the 7 hours it promised, and Im telling you its on streaming videos and movies for the hole 7 hours and it has never shut down,the lowest it got was 8% and than it took hours to fully charge it again.

I also bought a refurb and love it. I went into the settings and turned brightness way down but its still seems plenty bright. You can check in settings and see which programs are the biggest drain. Turning off Bluetooth will also help. I think companies always overestimate how much battery life they can achieve (they probably measure the life by how long you can listen to mp3's continuously). I don't think you should be concerned.

Someone posted in here somewhere that the the battery life is more like 2 hours for 2 hour charge. Apparently there is a problem with the charger that can be remedied by the way you charge it.

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

I am experiencing the same problem. I thought that the batteries died. I have not replaced them yet.

My first camera lasted for only 25 pictures on one charge. I charged the battery for two hours. I sent it back and got another one. This one lasted for about 60 pictures! I don't know if I should send this one back as well. I love the camera, but I think the charge should last for more than one day. Any one else with problems with battery life?

I have the same problem. Always running out of battery. Then the dock stopped working, so I am not at all happy. Good luck.
