Your battery is losing voltage too quick. It has probably developed a 'memory'. Dyson claims that their handheld has the best suction out of all the handhelds out there. In order to maintain that claim the circuit board will shut off power to the motor when the voltage drops below adequate charge for full suction.
We need someone who can teach us to bypass that part of the circuit so it won't cut power to the motor or you need to get a new battery.
Shorting the battery like an Aircraft battery then re-charging won't fix it.

My Quest 700 goes about 10 feet and stops. Red light blinks and after a few minutes the unit shuts off. I've put it on charger several times.

After multiple charge attempts, if the unit does not power the vac beyond a brief period, either the vac is draining the battery too quickly due to a short, but more likely, the battery has failed and needs to be replaced. Depending on the age and condition of the vac, it may be more economical to replace the vac with a new model.

Hi, 1. The machine stops after a few minutes, even though supposedly fully charged @. Difference between an Animal and a V6 cordless

Dyson will replace the unit for free. Call customer service # on the vac with the serial number

My DD hand vac won't hold the charge for more than one minute and just fades away! It has been charged for 24 hours.

Hi there! Your battery may need to be reset. Try depleting the battery. Run the vacuum until it completely shuts off, then re-charge for a full 24 hours. Hope this helps out! If you still have questions you feel free to reach out to us here on Fixya, Facebook.com/dirtdevil, or Twitter @DirtDevil.

How long am i suppose to charge my vac?

If your battery is not holding a charge, then you will need to replace the battery. Unless the charger isn't working, but usually it is the battery.

Cordless vac won't hold a charge

Like all batteries after a while they go bad/will not hold a charge. especially the kind that is always plugged in/always charging, like electric shavers, cordless vac and so on.
get a new battery
