Horrible battery life

I previously posted a review on the weak instructions and the button that operates the light. Now that I have used this headlamp for over a year now, I must add battery life to my list of complaints. I use this lamp to supervise taking my dogs out at night to ensure the desired bathroom duties are achieved. While the lamp works great as long as the battery is charged, I find the battery lasts only about an hour without recharging. I use the flood and spot mode only. The battery should last longer without a recharge. In the wilderness, such a short battery life could be dangerous.

Thanks for your review, we're sorry to hear you're unsatisfied. The HeadLamp 330 should last 3.5 hours on high and 40 hours on low when used at or around 70°F - performance of any lithium ion battery, regardless of device, are dictated by temperature. If you are regularly experiencing much shorter run times, please create a ticket so our support team can resolve this for you at bioliteenergy.com/pages/contact

JUNK

Why would anyone buy a tool with such a short lifespan. After a year or so the head lamp charge becomes shorter and shorter AND will just simply shut off all of a sudden without warning. Do not depend on this headlamp for the trail or camp in the evening or at night over time. So many other headlamps have a way of replacing the rechargeable battery when its time has come. Also this headlamp is the hardest unit to turn on and off that I have ever had. Frustratingly so. It will hurt your knuckle if your finger slips. I have other BioLite products that are working fine but the design of this one is, well, they just simply dropped the ball.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Daimon, you're absolutely right that a trustworthy headlamp should not be losing its battery life drastically or shutting off sporadically within a year. We'd love to make this right for you! Please reach out to our team here: https://help.bioliteenergy.com/hc/en-us and we can look into shipping a replacement HeadLamp 330 your way.

Best for short-term use not multi-day trips

Length of ownership:6 months
I bought this a few months ago for multi-day overnight hikes and was disappointed that it needed to be charged after the first night as I had no way to charge it. I had it on low and high for only a few hours. The temperature was -10/-15’c, which probably contributed to this. I had high hopes for this headlamp as it is very comfortable and bright, but doesn’t work for hiking/trekking unless you have a way to charge it. I would recommend this for walking or running or one day hikes, which is why I’ve rated it ‘Good’. It’s not that it’s a bad product, it just didn’t suit my outdoor needs. I just wanted to give a heads up for those considering it as a multi-day hike option.

frustrating

This is my second biolite headlamp. I had to send the first one back because it wouldn't work after the first time I recharged. Now my second one isn't working either after the first recharge. After unlocking it all I can get is a flash of red light. The battery life is great, but that's why it has taken me so long to find out that it won't work after the first recharge.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The Biolite headlamp 330 is lightweight, comfortable and adjustable.
The multi-click mode switching takes a little practice.
The single greatest opportunity (weak point) is the aging micro USB charging port. If this were to be updated to USB C it would be a truly standout product and THE go-to headlamp for backpackers/campers.
