Just received mine. When it's plugged into the wall (for 24 hrs now) it shows 100% charge. When I unplug it, it drops to 75%. Is this normal?

This device is awful. It never charged from the solar element. In less than a year the battery died. Send it back.

i don't think that is normal. Did you try sunlight charging? mine never worked on sunlight

I found that to be normal though I have no background in electronics I did not have a problem because it does everything that was claimed. Another thing is that if it is close to discharge the solar voltaics will not charge it to 100%. It is best to charge it up if you are away from electricity with solar before you get to a total discharge....

No this is not normal. It remains 100% even after it charges a single mobile. Try to charge it 1 more day then judge.

Yes. At least, in my experience, mine seems to have a very narrow threshold for lighting the 100% light, and a very broad threshold for the 75% light. When charging in the sunlight, it takes significantly longer to light the 100% light than the three before it, and it drops back to just the first three quicker as well. Functionally though, it works perfectly.

I've never had any issues with mine. If I'm not mistaken it stops charging once it's fully charged!

My first one did the same thing and was never actually charging. That happened after its first charge/drain. I had Amazon send me a new one and I sent mine back.

I don't usually let the battery below 20%. One thing I have learned is that some chargers will burn out a battery if left plugged in continuously. Unplug when charged.

I don't **think** its possible to overcharge it. I've had mine on and plugged in for a few weeks straight at least. I did have an issue where it wouldn't pair for awhile, but it was still powering on. I'm assuming the red light is only on when its plugged into the wall, right? Have you tried turning it on when it wasn't plugged into the wall?

Take it out of the charger and put it back in. It's just the indicator light on the charger. If you put it in the phone it should show up as fully charged. I charge my OEM battery in the wall charger all the time without any trouble.

I believe this is normal operation. It did that for me with the original power supply. I think it's just to let you know when it's charging vs. battery mode. Hope that helps.

This is normal. It does not change, it just stays on to let you know it is charging.

Hi , mine is working very well . I put to charge , the light is off when is charged . I'm using mine 6 months and bought more 3 . Maybe yours came with something wrong

Seems like you may have a problem, the lights on my charger have lit up every time I plug it in. There is a possibility the wall piece itself is bad though. Maybe try another USB charger an see if it works. Or put dead batteries in it leave it for roughly an hour an try them again to see if they have taken a charge.

Mine just sat on my desk for about a week without being touched, and I plugged it in and it is charging. I don't know if its going to charge my phone all the way, but this is a very good quality battery and probably only dropped three or four percent in a week of being idle.

what type of connection are you using to charge the device? Some wall outlet-USB converters have an issue with that so that would be my first course of action. Ill search for the digital copy of an instruction book if I can find one I'll respond with it. Also try leaving it for a full 8 hours chargin after draining it all the way if you want to make absolutely sure it fully charges. Thats with ALL batteries that do recharging. frequently drainging fully then recharging fully is the best way to ensure longevitty

I had the same thing happen. Unplug and use system to deplete power and then recharge. May take a couple uses but mine bounced right back and recharges fine now. Also holds a longer charge now. The more you use it, the better it seems to perform.

It wasn't completely charged. We let it charge til completely green. Once it was done we unplugged it and used it til it died to calibrate it then it charged easily after that.

Mine charges fully, but takes a considerable time to full charge. I use wall charger and it shuts off and holds its charge very well.

I guess I am the odd man out in this one. I love mine. Works good. Are you sure you got a good charge? When the unit is charging you get a visual indication on the screen that it is being charged. If you do not then maybe the connection to your power source is not seeded correctly. I plug mine into a usb port on my windows7 desktop, it recognizes it and starts charging right away.

charge it to be safe,when you plug the charge in it will automatically start charging at a lower number and work its way up,you can tell how much of a charge it needs by how long it takes to get back to 100%,you cant over charge it so this wont hurt it,once your sure its 100% only charge it when it gets low,if its fully charged your just wasting electricity!!!!!
