Default Lithium battery disappointment

I bought the Worx edger with the 18volt battery this past April. Each
week i used the edger for about 15 minutes to do my chore and then i
immediately put into the recharger and wait for the green light and
then store it till the following week. All's well until the last 3
weeks where i ignored the chore cause of the hot weather. This morning
I tried to use it and sense in about a minute or two the battery very
weak. So i recharged it, the light turned red as it should and about
15 minutes later the green light came on, so i thought it was fully
charged...it wasn't. This time it last less than a minute. So i
recharged it again and again, it charged about 10 minutes or so, when
the green light came on again. I called repair and told them the
scenario and they said they would send me a new recharger. I called
worx and the guy told me that i should recharge the battery the night
before i intend to use it. The manual says nothing about that. It
worked just fine the way i was using it for about a month and
recharging it. Any ideas? is it the battery? the recharger? I am so
confused on when i should recharge these things.


Your first mistake was buying a power tool off an infomercial.

They are always always always, without fail, without variation,
overpriced poor quality cheap Chinese garbage. The tool is junk. The
batteries are junk. The charger is junk.

That tool lasted about as long as they expected it to. They will now
give you the runaround and the tool will never work properly again.


LOL...First, it is definitely not junk and it was not made in
China...it was made with Italian parts and it was the best edger i
ever used, better than some crappy american models...again, i am
complaining about the edger, its the power source that is the
problem...in this day and age of going to the moon and mars and
etc...they cannot make a satiisfactory lithium battery? We'll see if
it is the battery or the battery charger that is at fault...until i
get that charger..i'm withholding judgement.
