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.

Good until dead
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. Our LiveChat agents are also available by clicking on the ‘Support’ link on our website.

The projector works great. The battery not so much
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.

Great while it lasted.
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 instruct...

Worked great for a few months before no charge
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.

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.

Works just fine!
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!
