I bought this unit 3 years ago. Have taken really good care of it. Battery wont hold a charge, needs to be replaced. Has anyone else had the same experience?

I haven’t but have you contacted aqua vu? They might be able to replace it.

tim hurleyPosts: 5551January 4, 2022 at 9:04 am #2086457Do some YouTube’ing on rebuilding lithium batteries. Not sure on this particular item, however it is likely fairly easy and cheap. Just need to know which cells to purchase and and how to solder.
January 4, 2022 at 9:07 am #2086458Looks like you can purchase new battery packs from Aqua Vu for around $25. Just need to open up and replace.
*edit* just noticed those packs may not be for revolution
January 4, 2022 at 9:35 am #2086470Mine did the same thing under warranty. And quite honestly did this every year for the past 4 years of owning it including this year.
Aqua View has been VERY good though and replaced the battery each year. This year like clockwork, same thing. Called em back up explained and they said “wow you have this problem a lot”.
My new one is being dropped off and they’re giving me a new one instead of replacing the battery again which kind of blew me away. They didn’t have to do that but impressed they did.
Girlfriend lives right by there shop so I just swing in and drop it off.
