On the WA3520, do I charge beyond the green led? Manual still shows initial charge time to be 12 hours

Yes & 3 hrs. each time after that. Run down all the way & don't leave in charger. My orgn. ,18v last longer then my perches of the new 20v one.

Your choice. "Green LED" says that it is "Fully charged"/"Ready to Use". I charge mine overnight - and so definitely "charge beyond the green led". To-date the battery(s) do not seem to have suffered any degradation from doing so.

It has been charging 23 hours, still the lights are blinking.... Probably it is going to be over soon. I am now fully charging for the first timeUpdate! - it has just finished charging. SO, it took almost 24 hours to be fully charged for the first time.

It's supposed to be charged when green is lit. Personally, I leave it on another hour.

You need to hold the button for a few secs, you should see a green light on it while it's charging. Hold until you see.the green light. It should be fully charged well before 7 hours.

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!

I haven't used it in a while, as I've been traveling but there should be an LED light on either the battery or the charger which turn off or turns green when finished charging. Charge it a full 24 hours the first time before using it.

Dan is pretty much correct in the time it takes to charge with the stock USB charger. But for the RUN time, it depends on how aggressively/conservatively it's flown. I tend to get between 5 and 8 minutes of flight time before the LEDs blink to warn of low battery voltage and the impending LVC. If you upgrade the transmitter to a spare X4 (version 2) transmitter (see my answer to the 2.4GHz interference and novice flying question), you'll have the ability to switch the LEDs off (and on again) to extend flight time even more (at the expense of being able to maintain orientation in all but the brightest of flight environments, since this vehicle is so small).

When the green flashing light is solid it is fully charged. It takes roughly 15-20 min for a full charge from 0 - 100, at least from my experience.

No - Max Charge Time is 30 Hours .... per the manual instructions which advises to NOT leave plugged in all the time. And, the light should be charged for 24 Hours minimum with each charge cycle. So - you should not do any charging until the indicator light changes from green to red .... then charge it for 24 Hours Minimum and 30 Hours Maximum.

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.

The charge colors are as follows: Empty - LED offless than 30% charge - LED red30-70% charge - LED green71-100% charge - LED BlueSo according to your question, the LED should never go from blue to green (if its charging). So if the LED is blue for a long period of time during charge, unplug the device from the charge cable and press the button. If the LED is blue, it is fully charged, but if the LED is green, then it has a charge between 31% and 70%.Hope this helps, and remember, you can always contact Powerocks directly and they will help troubleshoot issues with the Magicstick.

For the first charge, you want to charge at least 12 hrs. Wiggle the cable in the end of the Powerbot and see if it changes to green, it may be charged enough to work but won't give maximum charge to your phone.

You won't need to leave it charging. I Charged it one time since I got it a month ago, used it at least 10-15 times, and the light is still bright green.

The initial charge takes about 3 or 4 hours. The logo on the charging station turns green when the battery is ready. If the logo flashes red, the battery is not connected or has overheated. Some report the light turns green before full charge is achieved--I find you can wiggle it to see if it goes back to red, meaning it needs more time. You will probably only get about an hour of activity the first time, and the Pleo is "groggy" and slow in its newborn condition. As the days go on, the Pleo gets more active and the battery seems to stay charged longer. Oh, and you don't connect to computer at first. A USB connection is available if you wish to download future software updates. You can also download special "behaviors" from Pleoworld.com (youll need an SD card to insert into Pleo).

U don't because it does not have an indicator light. So what u do is leave it around 4 to 5 hrs to make sure u have ample amount of charge.

Good question, i finally charge mine for the first time last night and fell asleep after. Woke up and its still red. Would be nice if it turns green.

No, it is a trickle charger (compared to a "smart" charger that automatically turns off) and will overcharge. Please read the instructions, which clearly state not to leave it charging for more than 8 hours. Only charge until the light turns green, then stop. They also state to recharge immediately after use, and every 30 days if not used, to keep it topped up. Apparently they don't want you to leave it in a discharged state.The battery seems to be the weak link in these rather crappy quality lights. I would do everything I can to follow the instructions and not do anything that might damage the battery or shorten its life...
