Charging by electric outlet it takes about 2-3 hours. By Ian connection to computer about 4 hours. No idea on over charge.

It may not need to be charged. Unplug the charger and then press the On button on top of the unit. The number of LEDs that are on indicates the degree of charge. All 4 on means a full charge.

More than 2 hours actually. I left mine unplugged running at max brightness overnight to see how long the battery will last. I was up for more than 5 hours before falling asleep and it was still running. Light at max wasn't as bright compared to when it was plugged in though. There's most likely a circuit preventing the battery from over discharging as it turns on then off for some time still before I plugged it back in.

2 - 3 hours should do it, the led light next to the charging port will change to green when fully charged.

Unfortunately I have not had any luck getting support for mine. Mine won't charge to the point the led comes on. Initially I got an email from them which I responded to but then nothing.Point being I'm not very confident customer support or customer service will be able to help you.

LED indicator turns green under the USB port when full. I don't usually fully drain the battery but I would say two or three hours to top off. Power switch will go red when it's time to charge. Terrific light!

It should turn Blue when it's charged. If not I'd RMA it. But yes, 3-4 hours is my approx time I wait until it's charged (from a completely dead battery).

If you are charging the battery from empty, when you plug it in only 1 light will be blinking. After some time charging, it will be 2 (1 on, 1 blinking), then 3 (2 on, 1 blinking), then 4 (3 on, 1 blinking). After some time all of the lights will go off. That is when it is done charging. As this is a high capacity battery and usb is a low input source, it takes a long time to charge (as would any other backup battery that's charged via usb). Just give it time.

When you start to charge it a small red LED on it starts to blink. When it is fully charged it stops blinking. I haven't had mine long enough to answer your "how many hours" question. If the answer is not in other questions on this page, there is a similar device on Amazon selling for about $11. Somewhere on either that device or this one, someone said how long their's lasted on one charge. The time on the $11 device is probably the same as this one.

The main led light on the corner will glow blue while on, red while charging, and purple while on and charging. When just charging it will turn off completely when full or to blue when done charging while on. I believe it will last aprox 10 hours?

Mine has no LEDs, no car adapter, and it takes a long time to charge, possibly 8 hours or more, it's hard to say. It recommends charging for 10 hours before its first use, but I see no instructions besides that.

I'm assuming you have it plugged into a USB port to charge it or pressed the power button to check charge level. Accd to user guide, 1 LED blinking = less than 10% capacity and needs charging. After a few hrs of charging one light will be on solid, middle should blink, then middle solid, 3rd blinking. When fully charged all 3 lights should be on solid (~ 6 hrs). To minimize charge time use a 1A or higher USB charger vs a computer port which only puts out max of 1/2 A.

Depends on how long the unit has been used. The LED will flash amber while charging then turn solid green when fully charged. The longest I have had to charge the unit is approx. 3 hours before being fully charged.

That's definitely not normal. You should have a full charge after a few hours if plugged into 120V wall outlet. Either bad LED's or it's not charging properly.

I am sorry it took me so long to respond, but I have been gone for a few weeks and did not remember the answers you seek. I leave the switch in the off position and when charging the red LED is on. Not sure if it goes off when it is done or not or if it changes color but I will find out in the morning.

It usually takes 2-3 hours from completely dead to completely charged. The LED will change from Red to Blue once it's full.

I did that but the led light has flashed blue/purple for more than 20 minutes - how long does it take the initialization to finish?
