Embarrassing product. Dies after 16months and hard

Maybe 16 months old (or less) and will not charge. Just flashes one light. Tried many cables, chargers. Nothing. It's embarrassing this product fails after so little use and for its cost as well. horrible

Stop working after 8 months. Not charging, and even if it did, it won't hold charge. Chat with Samsung Care SMS but no help. Even they don't know how to do a warranty claim from my end. What a bummer!!!

I’m sorry to hear your Freestyle Battery Base is no longer working as expected. We’d like you to check a couple of things to see if we can help resolve this. 1. Make sure you’re connecting the top USB-C port on the Battery Base directly to The Freestyle’s USB-C port. Your device may be damaged if the battery is not properly connected. • The top USB port is designed to connect to The Freestyle & fast-charge external devices. • The bottom USB port will charge the Battery Base & external devices. 2. Also, ensure the USB-C cable you're using is either the included cable or a Samsung-brand charging cord. 3. Check the battery level by pressing the button below the USB ports. • If one LED indicator blinks, charge the Battery Base. 4. If there is dust or moisture in the charging terminal, charging may be blocked for device protection. Gently clean with a soft brush and try charging again. I hope these tips help. You can always contact us for further assistance at 1-800-SAMSUNG, 8AM - 12AM EST, 7 days a week.

Battery failure right out of the box

Thumbs down graphic, would not recommend

Bought for our freestyle projector, but right out of the box it will not charge. Finding reviews all over saying it is a manufacturing flaw. Now jumping through hoops to try and get it replaced by Samsung. 😫 Don't brother with this one!

Faulty Product Samsung Will Not Stand Behind
1 out of 5 stars
Thumbs down graphic, would not recommend
Disappointed - 1 year ago
Just over a year old and used maybe 5 times. Now battery will not charge, light will only blink. I hoped they would stand behind an obviously faulty product that has the same problems that everyone has had, but I was told to "but a new one" after wasting an hour of texting and phone calls. You might as well light your 200 dollars on fire...you will get more enjoyment out of that than you will this battery.

I used the battery base maybe 6 times within a year. The battery will not hold a charge. Based on all of the negative reviews, Samsung should recall this product and replace it with something that actually works.

Like many others, my battery no longer holds a charge as well. I used it for maybe 15-20 hours in the 11 months I had it before it stopped charging. It was great while it worked. Now people are saying its not even covered under warranty? That's a huge disappointment on Samsung's part. They let us down with this one. I expect the same copy and paste troubleshoot instructions response below...

Same as every low rating here. Worked fine (~2.5 hours) for a few months and now it just completely stopped charging. Contacted support, they 'escalated' it a number of weeks ago and nothing has been heard.

Battery worked great until it didn't; stopped accepting charge ~18mo and Samsung refuses to provide warranty support.
1 reply from Samsung Brand Ambassador team - 2 years ago
MaxnKitty, It's unfortunate to hear of the issues you’re experiencing when charging The Freestyle Battery Base. Please check the following which may help resolve this: - Confirm the charging cable is connected to the bottom USB port (IN & 10W OUT), as this charges the Battery Base. The top USB port (50W OUT) powers The Freestyle Projector. - Make sure you’re using the adapter (EP-TA865) included with your Freestyle to charge. - Try charging at room temperature or temperatures ranging from 32~95℉. If the ambient temperature is too high or low, charging speeds may decrease due to control measures to protect the device. - Check the charging port for any damage, defects, or obstructions. - Ensure the cable is properly attached with all contact pins intact. Please also keep in mind the following usage conditions when using the Battery Base: - The dedicated battery for The Freestyle can be used for a maximum of 3 hours. - If the battery is used outside of normal usage conditions, the battery may be damaged, or the lifespan may be shortened. I hope these tips help. For further assistance, please contact Samsung Support at 1-800-SAMSUNG, 8AM - 12AM EST, 7 days a week.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had no issues with this thing, from buying to setting up; it was perfectly uneventful! That is how I prefer setting things up, so A+ on that front. I recommend. There isn't much else to say; it's working great!
