There is a light on the charger that changes color when the battery is fully charged. Usually, if the battery was totally discharged it will take one to two hours to fully charge.

John...the light remains red all the time. My suggestion is to charge it over night for eight hours and you will be ready to use after that. The charge last for a long time but i check the stun and light a least once a week. Once the stun does not put out electricity any longer then you can recharge again. This conditions the batteries to last you a long time. I hope this is helpful to you.

When you plug it in with a dead battery, the light should be red., When it is done charging, the light will be green. If your charger does not do this, you have a bad charger. I had bought a lower priced model, and it did not work. So be sure to get a quality charger.

Hi, it took about 3-4 hours for the first time charging. When I charged the pack, before I used it, all the lights were on except one. I would wait a couple of hours and if the status has not changed, it might be defective.

I followed the instructions and charged my unit for 36 or more hours . Have used the unit several times and it has not failed me yet . After using it I plug it back in and the light is red for a short time and yes the green light dims but by morning its fully chargedagain even with that green light dimming . I'm not an expert but as long as unit is charged it has been working .

With the battery attached, it should either be red (not yet charged) or green (charged).Might be a defective charger? If you leave it plugged in long enough does the battery get charged?

The battery was low in charge, and the charger is not very powerful. Mine charged with the indicator red for about that long when I first used it. I'd give it at least 10 hours to turn green unless the battery gets hot (in which case its bad and needs replacement).

I left mine charging overnight, just to be sure. Unbelievably, I haven't charged it again in weeks and its still going strong! I'd recharge it every few weeks or so to make sure you get a good sound. The red light is just to acknowledge that its connected and charging, if it comes on and is plugged in. It also makes a bloop sound when you press and hold the power button, to acknowledge that it is ready to be paired with your bluetooth device to play music. When you are ready to turn it off and disconnect bluetooth, you press and hold the power button for a few sec. and you will hear the sound again before it shuts off. That's how I preserve the battery. I've never heard distortion or feedback. Maybe its time to charge it if thats what you are getting.

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.

If the red light stays on after a few hours of charging it might have a bad battery or bad charger. I charge mine for hours and it lasts for hours.

I have the exactly the same question. The charging light of mine stays red after an overnight charging. That contradicts to what the manual said: "orange while charging, green when it is fully charged". It looks like it is a common problem so that mine is not defective, then I do not need to return it.

I would give it another day to charge. After the unit has been fully charged (I think it can take up to 12 hours) it should turn blue. If it doesn't turn blue then change the charging cord and see if that makes a difference.

My red light eventually goes off. I have not had any issues. I typically charge the battery for a couple hours - less may work. Not sure.

The first time I charged my battery it went from purple when charging to blue when it was 100%. The second time (which is as we speak) the battery was 26% when I plugged it in and the light is red. Not sure what red means since the first time charging was purple. I did the power cycle on it and its still red. Maybe it will turn purple then blue? It took about 6 hours to charge from 20%-100% the first time.

When fully charged the red light will turn off. Now I don't use mine while charging but I would assume that it would slow it down somewhat. My first couple of times using it I put a full charge on it and wore it all the way out and now I usually just charge it every couple of days or so, depending on how much I used it that day.

How long did you charge it? Sometimes it has to charge a while, even over night if it has been out a long time. Then it might make a red light first. LET GO and wait a few minutes and it may turn green. if these quirks don't fix, I don't know what else to suggest.
