I've had numerous issues with the batteries. Not charging, falsely telling me they are charged, etc etc etc. I just always carry around 4 with me at shows to be safe. I can usually get through an entire show (opener and headliner... ~2 - 3hrs) on 1 set of batteries. At this time the poer indicator shows 1/2 power still left.
i have had 2 batteries for about a little over oneyearandtheyarejust fine i can get about 6hrs folks, did you charge/discharge these correctly as soon as you got them ala a cell phone, charge up, total discharge, charge up, ABUSE after that[/quoteHow do you do a total discharge?

They shut off when a selection ends. On a brand new JB3 there are no selections. Play back life is supposedly what? Wow, I have better things to do!
Looks like I got a bad one. Brand new, I guess they'll replace it. Explains the 2-3 hours of run time, with 2 batts in. Thanks for everyones help.ts.
