I bought these in 9/14 and worked my way through 1/2 of the box and the rest are duds. I'm assuming they just didn't last that long, is that right?

Sometimes you need to "activate" the battery by pulling the tab and waiting a few minutes before using. Otherwise the battery will seem dead or weak.

Hi Lyla, Sorry to hear that. I share a box with my dad and we go through a box (60pc) in about 5months time. We have never got a dud. I have bought the iCellTech from 2 different vendors though. They might let you send the duds back, not sure. Shelf life does make a battery go bad. As a matter of fact, the ones I own are supposed to be good till 2017. imho, they should last longer than what you have experienced.

I'm having trouble with my own purchase of iCell batteries, so I'm beginning to wonder if they are sized improperly. Trying to decide whether to try for a refund for the 60 I purchased. Good luck!

We have ordered those batteries several times and have had no problems. They seem to last 8-10 days.

I had no problem with them. This is the second time I bought these. They are the best one I found and also a great deal.

I bought some on 9/23/14 and have run into several that lasted only a couple hours. Looks like we bought from the same lot. Still have some left but have not encountered any more short-lived ones for some time. All the bad one were from the same package. Probably not worth the time and effort to contact iCellTech.

Hi, I hope you have better luck with these than I did. At first, they played great but then one ear stopped working and the other followed. It would be a few seconds of working then off again they would go. I know this doesn't help you much. I hope you get them working. Mine were returned to amazon within 30 days. Cheers!

Mine have been in for 6 months and still working. Use some Duracells to prolong the operation of this unit. I hav e ought a few of these types and like this one the best. GOODLUCK

Look for something better, I ordered 2 sets and both were dead right out of the box. They would probably connect but as to whether they'll work or not, I would say no. Don't waste your money. The only good I can say is Amazon gave me a full refund.

I just checked a box I have and they have a June 2014 date on...so guessing a year or so, but they never last that long in my house!
481982
I can't say all BUT mine did. I asked what the date was and was told a lie. They said June 2015 so I got them and when I looked it was June 2014. I got them in May also they did not work. I think they may have been stored at the wrong temp. The box looked like it was run over by a truck.They also say NOT FOR SALE on them so they are samples that are given out for free. Hope this helps. I sent them back and will not buy them again.

I had the same problem. I charged them for 18 hours and the red light never went out. Once I paired them with my phone though the charging indicator functioned correctly.

Take a chance and order new ones. I am now on my second timer. The 1st one stopped working after 3 days (in a test environment) but, the 2nd one has worked flawlessly for years now.

Mine are still working, had them almost a full year. After about a year's worth of continuous use these type of batteries start to go south. If you've used them regularly enough this may be the case. Occasionally there are defective products however.

This seems to be common with these things. They work great for a month then just stop functioning. Same thing happened with mine.

I had similar problems. About 1/4 of the box were turned on when I received them, so the lights were dim. A handful broke because they were made with really thin plastic.

Hi Bruce,Geez that is quick. As you can see from the answers, they generally last. Want to give one more a try? Send us your order number of the one you bought, and the new one, and we will refund you. Send order numbers to info (at) benebone (dot) com. Many thanks,Peter at Benebone

The ones I got sometime back had at least 10 months on them. Lots of time to finish the 4 boxes by then.

I bought 10 about one year ago. One failed after a month. I assume it was defective. The others are still working. That is all I have to go on.

So far, the ones that I have used have been great...I too have heard of some "duds" but haven't as of yet encountered any!

Hi I'm Glad you asked.. i got these and really liked them so almost instantly wrote my review. These have a really great sound but today I plug them in and the left one will not work.. i messed around with them for about thirty minutes before giving up. Keep in mind i bought my pair used. but up until they broke they worked/sounded great. my only complaint is the max volume wasnt all that loud.

No idea... But when they worked, I loved them.... Then they didn't, after about 15 hours of use.
