Mine crapped out on me COMPLETELY this week, and I purchased it August 30th... and have taken marvelous care of it. I am going to pursue a replacement before I change my "good" review on Amazon. I am looking forwad to a rapid prompt courteous replacement. Today is November 23. So, mine didn't even last 12 weeks. Best of luck! Keep up with this post, we'll see how it goes.

Mine lasted 30 minutes, before it blew up. Longer than some others I guess.

I do and it seems to work fine. Sometimes I may not use the batteries for six months at a time and leave them on the charager. The charger will shut itself off to keep from overcharging.Lithium batteries, though, will hold their charge longer, even off the charger than the older nicad batteries.

The DLO Charger works fine as long as you are willing to file down the edges of the plug a bit. Also the new model is the prettiest charger out there IMO.

Edward I couldn't say for sure but I have to say I am happier and happier the longer I use this charger. Think it is something you would be happy with. I also have noticed that it doesn't heat up.

I don't know how you are using the charger. I've had mine since May. I only use it rarely when I am traveling and need the extra boost. If you been charging and discharging the battery daily, you might have created a memory effect in the battery. Lithium battery were not supposed to have the memory effect problem, but it has been found that is not completely true. I would contact Amazon/Jackery to see if they would replace the battery since it's been only a few weeks.

Yes, I leave it in charger so far have no problems, I also have a back up battery because I got alot of trimming to do!

I used an external charger and left it charging overnight so I'm not certain how long it actually took. I was surprised that it came to me fully discharged but after that initial charge it's been working normally.

I keep mine on a Schumacher Smart Charger 24/7 and its been sitting for over a year on that charger. Used it as a battery backup system in a simulated "black out" scenario last weekend. Ran 5 light bulbs, a HAM radio, and charged electronic devices off of it. Pulled very little voltage and after running it for hours the monitor I use still showed an full charge. All that to say, the battery seems to be holding at peak efficiency.

I'm using my standard charger. It works and I never really considered it as a problem.

There wasn't any problems with it when I sent it out. Have you tried another charger?

Hello, how are you? You know I dont remember for sure. I'm thinking the original charger had a light that never showed if it was charged(it was always on). I went ahead and bought a fast charger that goes from solid to blinking when charged.

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&ps;c=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&ps;c=1)

Like everything else, the chargers have a life span. But it's quite long. I have 4 of them and have used them constantly for three years. They're still working fine. Just make sure you recharge them when they are depleted. And don't use them until they are completely dead. When they start getting weak, exchange them for a freshly charged battery, and put the depleted one on the charger. If you use any rechargeable battery until it's totally dead, you will shorten their live span.

Well I play usually 6 or 8 hours, then simply redock it in the charger. I've not left it undocked to know how long it lasts. I'm sorry!
