" ... Died after 2 years, battery won’t even charge . ... "
" ... Thought maybe I got a bad one so purchased another and after a full night’s charge it died within 5 min. ... "
" ... ), it seems like the wiring inside has broken somehow, as the darn thing will turn off and on as it pleases, won’t charge unless we have it *just* right on the charger, and the rechargeable battery seems to be holding a charge for far less time than in the beginning. ... "
" ... However, you have no idea how much battery is left at a given moment and, weirdly, you cannot turn it on if it is charging (though it will continue to make sound if you plug it in while it is on). ... "
" ... This product only lasted less than two months before it stopped being able to charge. ... "
" ... I am disappointed that the battery doesn’t last through the night without being plugged in. ... "
" ... But now after only having it barely even 4 months it won’t charge! ... "
