Just received the TDK A33.. Been on charge for 3 hours.. red light never turned amber.. but turned off. Why?

When charging, the red light only turns off automatically (and the device stops charging) if the switch on the side is off as well. If you only turn off the top button, it'll keep trying to charge. Don't wait for an amber light indicating that the battery is fully charged... I find that to be misleading... at least it has never happened to me.

It was the same for me so I presume that when the light turned off it's completely charge.

Red Light means charging, and off means charged....that simple. Amber is only when it's on.

I've never really paid attention to whether the color changed from red to amber. Sorry I can't help. It should be charged by that amount of time.

I would call Dyson support at 1866MYDYSON (US). They are very helpful. I found this explanation regarding lights. --------- When fully charged, all 3 LEDs should illuminate without flashing. However, if the red light continues to flash even after at least 3 hours recharging time, there may be a fault with the battery or charger assembly. ------------------ or it could be a filter isn't on correctly. Check out: http://www.dyson.co.uk/support/help.asp?article=1519&product=DC16-SY-STD Calling support is probably your best bet though. If you need a new battery, it will run ~$30. Good Luck.

So long as it's plugged in to charge, the red light will be on. I'd just give it a go. Mine's awesome.

Just plugged our battery in the charger and yes, the red light is on. The trick is to not over charge. I try to plug it in where I can see it. I think they recommend not more than 8 hours. We have replaced the original batteries on two older sweepers. Replacement batteries work fine.

Mine has a red light that comes on and stays on while charging. I will update when it's done charging to let you know what it does. OK, after charging the red light went off. At that point I disconnected from the charger and reconnected it, the light came on for a second and went right back off so it looks like you're fully charged. Hope this helps and enjoy!!

Hello! From what I could tell, the light is red when charging. Once charged, the red light goes off.

The light is red when charging. But if it doesn't hold the charge perhaps it would be best to email the seller with this question.

When the battery is charging, there is a flashing amber light. When fully charged, there is a solid amber light. Hope that helps.

I emailed the company about this very issue. They said that was a feature on the prototype but was never programmed into the regular production models. I was told it will not turn off but that it should be fully charged in about 5-6 hours.

Yes, you should see the red light when you press a button. It took me a bit of tinkering with it, I had the same issue. It's pretty cheap, I just kept messing with it. Remove batteries put em back in, slap it around a little. I also could only get it to work in just one of my USB ports. Sorry couldn't be more help.

In the directions it says that the red charging light should go off after charging is complete. Unfortunately it doesn't. I let mine charge for over 8 hours and the light remained on. The red light only indicates that it's charging. It will hold charge. Haven't had any other problem with my unit.

The red light stays on the entire time it's charging. It turns off when it's done. I had an issue where it wasn't charging and the red light would go on and off, but that ended up being my usb port.

From what I have seen of mine, the red charging LED dims and then brightens with the intensity of the light on it (even from a lamp!). I've never seen it stop except when 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.

Usually when the laptop flashes amber it means the battery isnt any good. Id send it back for a replacement.

Thank you for contacting us, we apologize you are having issues with the product, the manual states that the red light will turn off when it is fully charged, this is the way our original prototype functioned and we made the instruction manual based off the prototype. However, when we did our main production run of the product, this was not programed into the charging function. We have had several customers contact us about the red light not turning off. Even though the red light does not turn off, it will be fully charged after about 4-5 hours. Unless there are other issues with your speaker, it should be totally fine.

I have had the same issue with 2 separate TDK A33's. Called tech support and they were very uninformed. No rest that they could tell me. Suggested that I go to another area (!) and purchase another, since it might be a "bad batch!" They really need to fix this issue. Otherwise the sound is good and I wanted to keep it, but 2 strokes and you're out.
