Is there a recommended way to maximize the battery life on this product, say by running it dead between charges?

The battery lasts a good two weeks no matter how you handle it. I would not worry about it one way or the other. This electric toothbrush is a great product at an ideal price.

I leave the unit in the charger when not in use and have never had issues with battery life.

Nope, unfortunately, you can't just plug it in and run off the cord alone. It has to sit there and charge first or else it'll only be on for a few seconds before dying again, which is a significant design flaw.

Depends on the usage if you use it frequently then u need to charge it more often, if a fully charged battery can last like two hours usage

I need it to run the computer while I use it. the internal battery goes dead quickly (less than 1 hr) while using unplugged. Need it to power computer in use for 3 hrs using multiple applications.

I found out the hard way that you can not. Once the battery dues it won't charge and play at the same time. Also there is no warning that the battery is low. Best thing is just to charge it on a regular basis. Hope this helps.

I refresh at every charge. All it does is drain the battery all the way before it charges. And that is the best way to make batteries last. But there's nothing wrong with just charging up if you need them quickly

I don't know what these guys are talking about it only lasting 8 or 12 hours between charges. What are they doing with it? I work on my computer 8 hours a day and have to recharge the battery every few months or so. What am I missing?

Think of it like a cell phone. You need to charge it once in a while (great battery life), but you can use it while it is charging. You can just keep it plugged in forever if that's how you want to use it. However, it does shut down (after 15 minutes) I think of inactivity, even if its plugged in

if you have a starting and acc. battery and a trolling battery, use the two bank charger. pull in,plug in and forget it. after charging full it goes to maintenance mode.

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

2 hours max. After using one battery until the camera turned off, I took it home and charged it to max capacity and it was a little under 2 hours. You may want to contact the seller. If it is the same seller I used, they are excellent and will replace the dead cell. But first use a different outlet to see if you are getting 100% from your outlet. Just a suggestion.

I would say let it drain the battery completely and then try charging it again to full without using it in the meantime. This can happen with new electronics if you use it before the battery is charged all the way the first time. Work in tech and it happens with cell phones too (expensive mistake!)

When I ordered this product, it contained instructions for how to properly charge the battery for the first time. If I recall correctly, they recommended a full charge to 100% before use, and then unplugging the laptop and letting the battery drain all the way to 0%. Beyond that I don't remember any other tips. However here's a website that provides additional suggestions. The main point is NOT to keep your battery running at 100% AND plugged in at all times.https://www.luculentsystems.com/techblog/how-to-extend-laptops-battery-life-span/

Standby battery is really great, *IF* you turn it off after every use. I once charged it for a one-hour presentation, turned it off and left in my bag for a whole month and was able to use it for another one-hour long presentation with no issues. That's pretty amazing.Turning it off is quite easy, just push and hold the on/off button until you see the blue light blinking really fast and then let go. You'll see the blue light pause and then fade slowly, that's how you know it's turned off.

I did leave it charging for a long time and it died within weeks. So I am on my 2nd battery and put a timer on the power cord to charge it so I do not do that again.

I just had an issue with mine not charging. It got to zero and when I rebooted with it plug into the USB charger, I could see the little lighting bolt on the battery indicating it was trying to charge, but it shut off because of low batter. Kind of a Catch-22. I tried this cycle a few times and was fed up, so I decided to unplug it and let it 'die down' for half a day. Then I plugged it back in and the screen showed me that it was charging! I let it charge up for a few hours and it started up and continued to charge. If you are having charging issues, try letting it run out and "die", then plug it in. Worked for me, YMMV. I just had an issue with mine not charging.

After a good usage the charge light should stay on for about 24 hrs. If yours is staying on longer I suspect there is something wrong. After it is done charging you should leave it plugged in. The charge light will come on every once in a while for a few seconds. As for the comment about running the battery all the way down I believe that applies to the old style carbon/zinc batteries. This should have a lithium ion battery which I believe does not need to be run down. Of course it never hurts to do so. Do not leave it uncharged for a prolonged period of time.
