The product photo does not show the 'recharge indicator'. I would just like to confirm that it does indeed have the indicator light.

The indicator light the question references is on the handle and it blinks while the handle is charging and is steady when the unit is charged. And, yes, it is on the handle and works.BTW, the photo does show the location of the light it just isn't lit; it is the green circle under the name.

Yes, it does have an indicator light. At the center of the green circle (the on/off button) is a light that indicates something about charging. The design has evolved and the indications have improved. My original handle was an HX5710 and the light would blink rapidly for about 10 seconds just after use when the battery needed recharging. On the charger, it would blink slowly while it was charging and remain on steady when charging was complete. Unfortunately the batteries died in that one and the replacement I purchased here turned out to be an HX5400 (not the HX5500/5700 advertised). As I stated in my review, it worked, so I kept it. The charge indicator has only one display style and that is a slow blink during charging. There's no steady-on to say "I'm done" and no rapid blinking to say "charge me". Another difference is how bright the charge indicator is when it is on. The HX5400 is not visible in normal bathroom lighting. Turn off the lights and you will see it blinking slowly if it is charging for you.

Yes, the on switch flashes while unit is charging, turns solid when charge is complete.

Ye, indeed, the recharge indicator is present on the newer handle versions.

Yes, the indicator does blink while charging and goes to a steady light when complete.

I am not sure which this questions pertain to, I did order a base and it didn't fit but I ended up sending my old one to the vendor and they repaired it for $25 and it is still working. They did a great job. I believe I dealt with Crista.

Yes, the unit has a charging indicator light which blinks behind the green ON/OFF button, rather than the previous, vertical bar light.

Hi George, Seems like the manufacturer may have changed the product due to there being two different answers about the indicator lights. On my unit there are 4 lights indicating charge. Each light represents 25% so when they are all lit it is 100%. Others seem to only have one indicator light so your best bet is to read the the other answers to this question so you can make an informed buying decision. And let me make a SHOUT OUT to the SELLER to **ANSWER THIS QUESTION ABOUT THE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE PRODUCT, TO CLEAR UP THE CONFUSION!!!***

Mine does. My issue is that it doesn't indicate "charged" - just keeps charging until you unplug it.

There is no indicator light that tells you when it is charged. I use mine everyday at work. I try to plug it in overnight everyday. I have had three of these units in the last 11 years at work. They will last @ 5 years if using it everyday like I do.

My indicator does the same , but stops once I start moving forward. ( not sure why ) . My indicator does not give me a true reading to the battery charge . The lights run from green to red , red being that you require a charge . On mine I get the level down by three to four lights ( never reaches the red and I need to charge her up. ( and the batterys are brand new ) !

No it doesn't have a light to indicate the level of battery left, you'll know it's being charge or charging when the it lights up. Other than that you are on your own! But the battery last long enough to fully charge iPhone 5s

I don't think it has a charging indicator light, but generally it takes about 24 hours to fully charge on first charge Try to connect it to your phone and see if the charge indicator comes on.

Yes, when I charge the battery the light shows a full charge, but the battery is still dead.

Yes there are indicator lights shown for charging. This is what is stated on the back of this models package and has been tested by me. Charging indicator lights will flash while charging and then will remain on throughout until once battery charging has been completed. One LED light for each pair of batteries installed = 2 indicators. Batteries must be charged in pairs. So there you go. After fully charged the lights will go off. Hope this helped you.

Yes. I am not looking at it right now, but I believe it displays a yellow l.e.d. when it is charging and a green l.e.d. when it is fully charged.

Bought a pink one and it only has one red led when charging or being charged. No indicator for amount of charge remaining. You have to keep track of that yourself I guess.

On the batteries, themselves? No, sir. Just a simple 3 light indicator but if you're talking about the kind of capacity indicator like the ones that show you the full strength and charge capacity and what's left, then no.

Had to try it... the battery pack is plugged in and my phone is plugged into battery pack and charging (as indicated on the phone) but I can't really tell if the battery pack is charging as the indicator light is solid (as when charging a device) instead of flashing (as when being charged). Hope that makes sense but the short answer is, I don't know. Good question, though.

Has a power button on back that is lit up & will flash when battery is low. Charged mine about 2 weeks ago & have yet needed to recharge it. But has no battery level indicator.

The indicator light does change to show that the battery is fully charged. I haven't used my charger in a couple months. So, I don't recall exactly what the light does. If memory serves me well, it actually blinks red when charging, and shows solid green when it is done charging.

Yes, I just got one today and it was the cheaper version, with no headlight or bag full indicator. I am sending it back! Very disappointing and cheap!
