I've bought it 2 days ago and its very nice thing but withI full charged battery it worked only 3-4 hours and then battery was fully discharged and it turned off. Is it normal?

Yes, the battery life is one of the thing i dislike about this product. There are better batteries that can be purchased though

Yes this is normal. Like all portable electronics, battery life depends on applications, and video recording consumes battery faster than some other functions such as radio or audio playback. The battery pack is used as a backup. For best results, please always connect the camera to its wall charger (with USB cord). Please let us know if you have other questions. Thanks.

Looks like it's not working. I had mine a long time ago and i know i charged it like for hours. Maybe 8. But not 2 days. That's too long. If it's still not charged, then i would think it is not functional.

That's definitely not normal. You should have a full charge after a few hours if plugged into 120V wall outlet. Either bad LED's or it's not charging properly.

Anne, it's probably not usual, but I've only charged it once for 3 hours. Still going strong.

The fully charged battery does not last long. Mine is also dead the next day.

It's normal, unfortunately it doesn't have an indicator of when is fully charged. It usually charges in about an hour if not used while charging

I just received mine. I am still letting charge to full power. The light is still blinking so it is no up to full power yet.

Mine was working great after few hours charging. After a year and half, it did not charge like yours. I used to buy used one and used every week, so I gues it died. I used for long and good. But if it is new, then you need refund it

When I first got mine, I charged it for a least 24 hours. The On/Off switch should function easy to turn the device on/off. I am not sure WHAT is the problem with yours. It very well may be a defected device......?Sorry, Wish you luck...!

Mine appears to already be fully charged, so I can't tell yet. I'd have to run it down a while, I guess. Does yours not record anymore? I'm also not sure how it indicates when it is in the charging mode. If I learn more I'll get back to you.

No, mine seems to be just fine. I have had it about a month and already charged it many times.

I have the exact same problem. I contacted the vendor about it but I have not recieved a reply. When the battery is 100% full it runs fine but when charging, it's almost unusable.

Mine was nearly fully-charged and I used it right away. It didn't take long to bring it to full charge either.

I have had mine for some time and don't recall that it was a problem when I installed the battery. Sounds like you may have to return it and get another, BTW, I do like (and trust) the unit.

Mine was fully charged. I took a 2.5 hour bike ride one Sunday. Never charged it afterwards. And then the following Sunday did the same. It never died on me!

Great timing with your question. I bought one of these a little while ago and went to use it for only the second time this past weekend.....(I use it as a back up when my main battery is depleted).....the first use was brief, as I only needed a few minutes battery time. This weekend, the battery was fully depleted in a matter of minutes (no more than 5 min) and on subsequent recharges, continues to work just as poorly. I am very disappointed. Don't know if this is the norm or not, but if it is, buyer beware.....
