Normally, you won’t run batteries down completely, since the running time with a full charge is up to 20 minutes.. It varies depending on your usage, but most grinding tasks take only about 5 seconds.. If your battery is no longer charging, it is time to replace the battery.. Please call our Consumer Service Center at
