Qinux BarkBuz battery life after a few weeks?

Interesting, I was actually wondering about that before buying one. Battery life is kind of a dealbreaker for me since I’d probably want to move it around the house and yard. I don’t mind charging things every few days, but if it’s becoming a daily thing that would get old fast. Curious what the average is for everyone else.

I’ve had mine about a month and I’m charging it every three or four days. But I’ve got a neighbor’s dog that sets mine off at weird hours, so it’s probably working harder than it would for most people. I don’t think it’s a dud, it’s just that the thing only holds so much juice and it reacts whenever it hears barking, not just from my own dog.

What I’d check is if it’s triggering more often than you realize. Mine sits near a window and I figured out it was picking up dogs from two houses over. Once I moved it further inside, the battery stretched out noticeably. Not saying yours is in the same spot, but it’s worth paying attention to when it actually goes off. These things drain fast if they’re constantly in use.

Had mine for about six weeks now. Charge it maybe once a week, but my yard is pretty quiet so it’s not firing off constantly. If yours is triggering a lot, that’s probably why you’re charging more. Not really a big deal to me, it’s not like I’m plugging it in every day.

Charging it more than expected probably means it’s doing exactly what it’s supposed to do. If the thing is firing off every time a leaf hits the ground, of course the battery is going to drain. I wouldn’t call that a flaw, just the cost of having a noisy neighborhood.

I’m charging mine roughly every five or six days, but I’m also not home a ton so it’s not like it’s working around the clock. I mainly use it when I’m actually around to hear if it makes a difference. Honestly, the charging hasn’t bothered me that much.

I’d just keep a charger handy and not overthink the exact schedule. If it’s doing the job and the battery isn’t dying in a few hours, that’s probably normal for these things. I’d only start worrying if it stopped holding a charge at all.

Mine goes about a week if it’s just sitting in the living room, but once we’re outside with the dogs running around it drops way faster. I’d probably just charge it every few days on a schedule instead of waiting for it to die.

Mine actually got worse after the first couple weeks, not better. First few charges seemed fine and then it started dropping fast enough that I stopped bothering to keep track. I thought it was just me using it more, but I was running it about the same amount, so who knows. I ended up just charging it every other night now instead of waiting for it to die, mostly so it doesn’t quit in the middle of something. Not saying that’s normal, just what happened with mine.

Mine seems about the same as day one, no real drop yet.
