Isn't the iGo green supposed to charge things on its own battery, not plugged into AC current? Mine does not for some reason.

Honestly, it does for me but only for about 25% of a charge and it trickles between the two cords if they're being used, especially if they're different devices despite the same voltage. I got what I paid for and for $6 it does the trick.

It does both. But it needs to be charged and you need to press the button to turn it on. If the button doesn't glow blue then it is not fully charged.

There should be a little tiny light on the charger it is res when its charging and it turn green when it is done charging. It is so small so u really gotta look for it.

I should have responded sooner. I don't know. I had a couple of items that I wanted to have a battery op. charger for and posted the question to iGo's c.s. and of. course, never received an answer. You could try e-mailing them but they are not big on responding. This is a discontinued item.

That was one of the problems... nothing appeared to indicate it was actually charging. So I just made sure I had it plugged into a good socket and let it charge overnight... But the next day it still didn't work, so I returned it.

Mine did the same thing. It is charging, but the software doesn't recognize it. I installed an app called "coconut battery" to tell me when it was fully charged.

Hey Mike, I just received mine a few days ago. I did charge it overnight, and when I woke up the next morning (and after 10 hours) the green light had gone off. Not sure why yours didn't.

Hi, I am having the same problem with mine. I am sure these are defective items that are being resold. I have to shut it down, power cord in, turn it back on and then manipulate the cord just so. Sometimes it takes a few tries. When if starts to charge, I leave if alone, because it will stop even if lightly tapped. The charge doesn't last very long though. Very disappointed. I should have returned it when I got it.

I cannot say what is wrong with yours...but I just tested mine. The extra battery charged fine in the cradle portion of the device. I then attached a USB charging cable from the USB port to my phone and it also showed a charging current. So mine does appear to be working properly. Try a different cable from the USB port, and if it is not providing any power "out", then I suspect your item may be defective.

Mine has been charging for 6 hours and still red, not sure what to do...Only time I saw green light was when I first put the batteries on the charger while still unplugged. I thought this was odd.

Make sure you're using the input USB. Should charge automatically. You only have to turn the power on to use the device for charging purposes.

I have a problem, that might be related and I wanted to ask people as well. When I put the battery in the charger (I have two), most of the time, even though the battery is empty, the charger shows green light and does not charge. I have to put the battery in slightly elevated angle and push on it and then it will start charging. So maybe your batteries were not charged at first place. Also happens to me, that the batteries discharge if not in use for 2-3 days, so before use I always recharge.

Mine does not charge while being used. I assume it is not supposed to do so.

The green light at the top by the word charge stays on green when it is done charging. So, if you don't have a light that comes on when you plug it in, your charger is not working right.

I have had no problem with mine charging. Perhaps you have a defective unit. Mine is now around three months old. Good luck, Earl

I've read where the agm batt can be charged by this charger when connected in parallel with another conventional battery. I also know that there are agm battery chargers available. I suggest that you look up the charging of the agm on youtube. Someone has probably already solved this type of problem. Cheers.

Unfortunately, I have the same problem and no amount of charging is fixing it. It almost feels like there is actually no battery inside, or it used up its number of possible recharges. Returning it to Amazon. Will try one more time to order this thing.

Absolutely, I had the exact same issue, both the supplied power adapter and a back adapter failed. I bought this one and it's charging since then. I would recommend trying this.
