1) How long does it take to fully charge? Any LED indicators on the Device? 2) Does it come with a car adapater to charge in the car?

I have no LEDs or car adaptors. When I first got it, I charged 10 hours. It will inflate a number of things - We have a large inflatable island and smaller flotation devices - and then deflate them without running out of power. When we get home, we plug it in for 8 hours or so and then put it away. No way of knowing how much we had left. Hope this helps.

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.

Solid yellow light means the battery is charging. I think the other indicators going off after a minute or two is "normal" operation. Mine does the same thing. I would kind of like the information display to stay illuminated. But you can always "refresh" it by pressing the left most button. I'd prefer I didn't have to walk around the car to do so.

It usually takes 2-3 hours from completely dead to completely charged. The LED will change from Red to Blue once it's full.

Depends on how long the unit has been used. The LED will flash amber while charging then turn solid green when fully charged. The longest I have had to charge the unit is approx. 3 hours before being fully charged.

I just charged my radios from tues 0902 morning to wed 0903 nite and I got 2 bars on the battery indicator so I would say prolly abt between 24-36 hours but easy does it on charging these, ck on it after 15 hours or so,but anyway my radio is pretty good after 12 to 15 hours and then I can allways charge it in the car too.

Hello,It takes about 30-45 minutes to charge. A problem I and a couple of people have had is the charger finishing before the standard battery is fully charged. This light appears to be only good for a short trip about 45 minutes on low. Another problem is the mount. You can look at my review under KRB on how I made a mount.

The main led light on the corner will glow blue while on, red while charging, and purple while on and charging. When just charging it will turn off completely when full or to blue when done charging while on. I believe it will last aprox 10 hours?

Yes, there is an indicator LED. This charger is absolutely the best there is.

I charge it in my car but I have charged it with a wall charger. Takes a couple hours and off you go

Only the very first time you need to charge it for 8 hours straight. The following charging can be multiple shorter duration. The red indicator light will be out when the battery is fully recharged. Hope that answer your question.

Hi Malia, Sorry it took me until now to respond. I wanted to ask my husband to be sure since he plays with my son more with the car. He said it usually lasts about 7 or so minutes. We did buy a separate battery charger that recharges it a lot faster than the one it comes with. I hope that helps you. Good luck!

Needs to be plugged into the cigarette lighter to charge the device. I hope this helps!

Forgive me for taking long. The speaker comes with a USB charging cable. You can plug it into a laptop/desktop, or directly into a powered USB port. The speaker does not come with a car charger. On some newer model cars with USB ports, the speaker should be able to charge. On some older models without a USB, you can get an adapter that fits into the lighter port to charge the speaker. I hope this helps.

I've had mine about a year, my husband has had his for just a month or two. I watch some videos but mostly read books or look at bbc news or pinterest so brightness is up about halfway most of the time. I think it lasy fully charged for about two or three hours using it nonstop. Longer if im reading books already downloaded (like on the plane) chrged in about a 45min or so if its turned off, little slower in airplane mode. Note the brightness and things like gps location and wifi searching constantly use power in the background just like your phone! Turn off everything your not using :)

I agree with what's been posted. I'd like to get it for a gift for someone, but have several unanswered questions. How long does it retain it's charge? How many times can it be used before being recharged (ie, can it jump start your car twice on the same day)? Does it have to be recharged by plugging it into a wall outlet, or can it be recharged though the car's cigarette lighter when the car is running normally (ie, the reverse of what it does to jump start the car)? Anyone know this stuff? :)

If this is the same version I bought about 4 years ago. Mine still has a battery life of about 5+ hours. Mine came with a wall charger. I recommend getting a car charger as well. Not sure if it was included, I've had this thing for a long time...
