You have to reload the same batteries and it will work again for a little while. ... You'll get tired of putting the batteries in and out each time you want to use it. ... Their customer service just told me I was putting the batteries in wrong - but how would it work at all if I wasn't putting them in correctly? ... They refused to replace the unit, saying the problem was with me, although they also claimed to be redesigning the battery compartment for future units (which makes no sense if there WASN'T a problem).  ...  "
