I have this item. I use it for a couple hours, turn it off and the next day the battery is dead. Is that normal? Can I use it while plugged in?

I had the same problem with the first one I received as the battery would not hold a charge. After I posted a negative review, the company reached out and sent a new one that is working much better.

I'm sorry to hear that. Mine seems to be working fine. I've used mine for more than 6 minutes. Make sure it is fully charged before using it.

Mine used to work great while plugged in even with low battery, recently this isn't the case. I have it for more then 2 years and now the battery doesn't hold the charge long enough for a single use and the unit doesn't work solely on the AC power, i.e. with no battery and plugged in, it doesn't work now.

Dead battery? Get a jump! haha Seriously now.Are you sure its the battery? Does it work when its plugged in? As soon as you unplug,does it stop working? If that's the case,I'd take it in to a computer shop to get looked at.Is it still under warranty,& if that's the case,send it in.I haven't looked at my own manual,but can you change the battery yourself? I'd see if I could do it first myself,instead of paying omeone for something you might be able to do yourself.

It worked for me NOT plugged in. Try that. It is a terrific device. Make sure it is charged, then unplug and run it from the charged battery.

I just bought mine (BIG JAMBOX) a month ago...and YES, eventually the battery will wear out...how soon? it will depend on the usage. But you can use the BIG JAMBOX while plugged-in to your power outlet.

No, that's not normal at all, it sounds like you have a really bad battery. If you are using the rechargeable lithium ion batteries that comes with it, then you probably have one that has gone bad, I would stop using it immediately, and certainly don't try to recharge it.

No you have to turn it on and off each time or it will die. You can plug in and use it but for some reason mine doesnt charge as fast as the battery on it is depleted. I think it could just be my charger though

Mine did the same thing. I left it plugged in for days and it never worked again. I just threw it out.

If you left it plugged all the time then it became slow, you need to let the battery die completely (un charge for three days) and if it is completely dead, charge it for 24 hours woth using it. It should work. Only charge it overnight when slow otherwise keep it unplugged to the wall. I have had mine 2 years with mo problems.

If you turn the power off completely, it will be fine for whenever you play next, which is what I do. However, if you leave it in "clock" mode or use it for walking, it will continue to use battery.

Probably a bad battery. Ours can be off the charger for days and still have a power, not being used that whole time. As in, I had it for a nap time while I was outside and turn it off after nap (couple hours) but don't plug it in, it will still have charge a few days later. It has also lasted over night (audio only) not being plugged in.

Charge it for a while and then try to use it. You can use it while it is plugged up

It's rechargeable so you can plug it in when it's dying. My battery lasts 3 hours at the most. It might be a defective one, or that might be normal. I am not sure about that at this point.

I leave mine plugged in all the time until needed, then plug it in again. Doesn't seem to effect battery life as I've been doing this for over a year and I still get up to 6 hours of light.

I usually have mine plugged in when I use it, have not experienced the problem that you are having. I would contact amazon, if you purchased through them, they are EXCELLENT when it comes to Customer Service, and may be willing to exchange it for a new one. Yours might be defective.

I found out the hard way that when you use your laptop while it is plugged into an outlet, you lose the battery's ability to sustain the charge (when using it unplugged). The battery never depletes itself so it cannot fully re-charge. I purchased a replacement battery from Amazon and now, even though I am using my laptop at home, I disconnect the charger and use the laptop until it gets almost depleted. This gives me 3 or more hours.
