I can't speak to the battery life of this particular model, however in the past and with different models, I havn't had a lot of luck. Typically, the batteries have to be replaced ever so often.

I purchased it on line a couple of years ago. I used it once, when the battery went dead I put it on the charger but it didn't charge or the charger is bad. It hasn't worked to this day. Does anybody know what is wrong with it! Please let me know.

I've had my trimmer for only a short time so the batteries are very new. You have one of two problems. Most likely the battery is not accepting a charge and has reached it's useful life. The second problem could be the charger itself. If you don't have a voltmeter, take it to any Radio Shack or good hardware store and have the output voltage checked. It should be near or over 24 volts. I hope this helps.

Sorry to hear your having trouble brother!! I have owned mine for almost a year and I just checked it, working just fine with the original batteries plus I still have the 2nd pair which they included. The best thing to do is contact the manufacturer, I've talked to them and they have a great customer service dept. I think they will be more than willing to help. Good Luck

I highly recommend that you do not buy this unit, if you already have it try and take it back or sell it. I had mine for about a year and it went kaput. It never jumped a battery, only thing it was good for was pumping up tires, and it don't even do that anymore. Definitely don't ever let it go more than a few weeks without juicing it up again. If that unit goes dead it wont recharge. I have been very unhappy with my purchase. I wont ever be buying another B&D; ever again. Hope I didn't discourage you, just trying to give you heads up on this thingy.

I've had this unit since November 2013 and have not had good luck with the battery holding a charge. I have contacted Waterpik and hopefully they have a solution. I will follow up here when they respond.

Add me to the list - not sure when it started, a few weeks ago we noticed it b/c we charged it and then it was dead. Figured it got bumped in wife's purse or hadn't charged long enough but now I've been trying to charge it and see the on/off cycling going on. No answer, just sympathy and hope for a fix!

make sure all the batteries are good and installed correctly - one wrong will keep it from working. If all battery conditions are met, then call Dorcy for a replacement. I've had no trouble with mine after 20+ dives.

I'm not sure why it died. I've used it almost everyday but never faced any issue. May be u got a faulty item. If u want anything else let me know.

I've had that happen once since I bought mine (feb 06) and I got it to work again by taking the battery out for about fifteen minutes and putting it back in and it was back to normal. I disagree about it not being tough though, since mine falls off the seat of my work truck and onto the floor at least twice a week and I use it every day.

I bought my 205 in September 2008 and now it's dead. I had a few charging issues over the last month, then it wouldn't sit properly on the charging cradle. I had to use a pony tail holder to keep it in place. Now, I just went to get it off the charger and it's completely dead. Not good timing since I am mid way into marathon training! worried if I get another one it will die in 2 years time!!

It varies. My battery actually died 3 months in but eventually recharged and started working again. It's an on an off thing and right now, it's all off. It might be better to connect your alarm to the main battery.

Remember to insert and then slide the key over and hold it while you squeeze the starting lever, then you can release the key. I have used mine for 3 months, but something I think is wrong with battery. I understand it may be the charger and not the battery. I am calling Worx soon. Up till then, it worked great.

I've been using it every day for 3 months and the battery just died. That seems fast to me!

We have had ours for almost a year now. A few weeks ago ERR showed up on the LCD screen with the low battery light flashing. We changed the batteries and it worked for a few days and then ERR again. We use smaller pellet food and thought maybe it was jammed. We took it apart and air dusted the crumbs. It worked for 2 days and then ERR again. The motor has died as far as we can tell. Maybe something has gotten shaken loose or food bits have interrupted a connection. Try cleaning it out with canned air, gears, battery terminals, and wire connections. Helped for a bit for us.

I am sorry to report that something must have changed with production since June of 2013. I performed the exact same test that V.Bolinder did, and mine is dead. I opened it to see if, as others have mentioned, the panel was not attached. Oddly enough, it is soldered onto the board just fine. IN my opinion, the battery is not a rechargeable button cell. I am going to purchase some rechargeables of this size and replace, see if that works.

I had seen similar postings but have had no issues. I replaced the battery in my daughter's Zen and she uses it frequently and has had no issues.

I would ask them for a replacement. Obviouslt a problem with the battery. i have found they are either great or duds.

Left mine playing its games until it was "Dead" flat. Rapid charged it via usb until it said it was full and then reset the time and date. Its behaved perfectly since!!! Odd but it seems to have worked! Good luck to all :0)
