Looks like the battery is leaking power rather quickly when not in use. Mine had 4 bars and ~24 hours later it had only 3 bars. Anybody else?

Mine holds its power for weeks on end if it's not being used - it was fully charged the end of December and I used it for the first time this year on March 20th. It opened at 4 bars and charged up my phone and computer just fine and still had 2 bars..... Thinking you might want to contact the manufacturer or Amazon if it's a fairly new purchase.

its great 4 me! Just make sure u turn it off by hand and dont leave it on standby. I did that once and it died. I've charged it a few times. I use it @ work only and my battery life was only 1 bar down after 7 hrs. All i do is listen to music i dont know if it drains faster doing other things. Hope this helps.

I have two of the batteries and have had no problems. I suspect your battery is defective and should be returned for a replacement.

That is a great question. I really haven't noticed it being drained too much after no use. To be honest, I haven't really tested that too much. I think mine is dead right now. I would think it's like every other battery and it will lose some charge after no use. Just don't know how much.Regardless, it's a great device and I love it. It's saved me several times.

I'm not sure. I would check with Cobra first. I have a local battery supplier that is good with finding things like this. I'm still using the original battery. I discharge it fully before hunting season. Then may have on for 8-12 hours a day and only recharge after 3 days and still have 3 bars usually. If your using more than this then may need a spare. If battery not holding charge let Cobra know and see if you need replacement, otherwise try the above. Hope that helps.

My battery has been working fine. I am not sure what battery you're talking about. I used it for over 3 weeks and just had to recharge it today. I am guessing they are shipping with better batteries.

I have also noticed that one of mine also when fully charged and used little drains very quickly. This is not normal for a good lithium.I have only used one of the two but makes me worry.

Hi there! I've been using this battery for a month in that same model and had no problems so far. Maybe it's a faulty one. If i were you, i would contact Anker support service. =)

We are having the same issue. Been using almost every day for over a year, and even after changing the battery there are issues. The battery case actually is corroding inside! Want to contact company to see suggested lifespan. Otherwise, we've loved it so far!!!

Erik, I may not be the right one to provide a feedback as I hardly used the scooter after I bought this battery last year. Having said that, I was surprised to see the battery had some juice left when I tried to start the scooter in the early spring couple of days ago. By the way, my scooter was in the garage all winter and I did not detach the batter all winter. Hope, this helps.

I agree. Send it back. Mine has been perfect. Changed the battery once and it works great.

I have had the battery less than a month. It is great so far. I would recommend that you find someone who has had the battery over a year. That is when my previous third-party battery from another company failed despite not being recharged much.

I believe the load is too high. There's not a lot of amp/hours in the battery, and I think it's designed for loads in the mAh range at low resistance. You need a battery capable of supplying about 6 amps (70 watts at 12 volts is 5.8 amps) continuously for the period you need (and probably a way to recharge it to avoid continuous replacement).

Hi, I am having the same problem with mine. I am sure these are defective items that are being resold. I have to shut it down, power cord in, turn it back on and then manipulate the cord just so. Sometimes it takes a few tries. When if starts to charge, I leave if alone, because it will stop even if lightly tapped. The charge doesn't last very long though. Very disappointed. I should have returned it when I got it.

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.....

I have played the unit for a good two hours with the battery. I almost always have it plugged in when I view it. I would see about returning the battery, or getting a new unit. Thats what I like about Amazon, I have never had a problem with a return or replacement.
