I haven't used the mini that much, but have noticed the short usage time. Now I testet it, set the einstein on full power, and with modelling lamp off. I fired a full flash every 20seconds to 1 minute, but after 5-8minutes the battery turned itself off. I could switch the power button to off and then on again and it would start up again, showing full battery power. But then I could only fire 3-5 pops before it died again. Waited a couple of minutes turn it off and on again, still full power but could only pop it 1-5 times before it dies. The longer I waited I could fire a couple more pops but it is useless like this.

Any ideas? Bought it from P.C.B UK, 230V version.

I suspect the battery itself has a problem. You will need to contact PCB UK for warranty service.
