Motorola Video Monitor Battery?

[jessesgirl08]

After 18 months of use, my parent unit dies almost immediately after being charged.  Has anyone replaced the batter in this?  Where did you get yours?  

I found one on Amazon, but it has poor reviews.

Thanks.

Have you contacted Motorola to see if they'll replace the parent unit for you? I'd try this first before buying a replacement battery. You never know.

We recently replaced ours. I'm not sure where DH got it, but I'll ask him when he gets home.

ETA: We got ours from Amazon. We haven't had any issues with it, but we've only had it a couple of months.

Mine is doing this too and I've had it just over a year. Super annoying to keep bringing the charger up and downstairs to plug in every time I want to use it. I'm so completely over how shitty monitors end up being. I had terrible luck with a Summer Infant one with DD and now the beloved Motorola? After spending hundreds of dollars on multiple video monitors, I'm not happy at all.

My DH is tempted to just take it apart and mess with it but I think I'll try calling Motorola tomorrow. I think is more than just the battery, I have to plug ours in just so to get it to even charge.

A wheel on my city mini is sticking too, also annoying and requires a phone call. All my baby gear seems to be conspiring against me.

We bought one on amazon. It's as good as new now.

ours died after only a couple months of use. it's permanently attached to the charger. i've heard this complaint a lot. i'd call them.

Motorola has great customer service, I would just call them. I recently called them because our 2 yr old camera stopped transmitting sound and they sent me an entirely new monitor and camera.

Thanks all, I'll try calling them tomorrow.

I called Motorola today and they are sending a free replacement! Yay! Thanks for the suggestions.
