does it have a indicator telling you when it needs to be charged? How often do you have to charge it

I've only use the flashlight once to walk my dog and the battery went out by the end of the walk. Haven't used it since.

Doesn't have an indicator, but I charge it about once every other week just to keep it fully charged in case I need it. Well made and super bright light, not to mention the threatening sounding stun feature. I love it!

It is recommended you charge the unit one every 3 months unless the light is used frequently than should charge once per month. Also, good idea to test the unit one per month that it is fully operational.There has been discussion by the manufacturers to add this feature in the future.

oh and by the way when I plugged in the charger for it originally I was touching the shaft of the Taser and it stopped me all I did was flip that plug around in the outlet and it didn't stop me it wasn't a shock it was just kind of as zapp. don't know if this is just a defective one but like I said flip the cord around in the outlet if it zaps you it'll work just fine

it says to charge it every month which would be a good idea but I've had it for 6 months haven't charged it once and it still fires just fine the only part that sucks about it is that the Taser will not work why the light is on so that would be good to know in a panic situation when light is off taser works extremely well and is very loud

I've had mine for 2 years. It came charged so I've never charged it. I test it about every 2-3 months & it's still working; so I don't know that you'd need to charge it very often. Any research I've done indicated to charge it about once every 2 months with minimal use.

I've had it for almost a year & I've never charged it. If I used it more it would probably need a charge but obviously holds its charge while not in use. I am pleased with it overall

Yes. It has a charged indicator (grn/red). It doesn't take very long to get a full charge.

It didn't before I put it in the trash. The red light I believe on the back where the spare battery charges is the indicator, and when it turns green you're good to go. Mine didn't last two months before it just completely quit charging on the dock. I got rid of dock, but kept the cable to be able to charge my phone with just that.

I haven't exactly timed how long the battery lasts, but depending on how much I use it, I generally need to charge it every day. Naturally I turn it off when I'm not using it, but I would say once a day with normal use.

The unit comes with a cord that you plug in to charge it. There are instructions that tell you how to do so. There is also an indicator light on the unit to let you know when it is fully charged.

I don't have a definitive answer for that, but I have charged mine many times, and it seems to stop when the charge is complete.

I've only charged it once after the initial charge, since I received it early in December. Of course we don't use it constantly.

yes but there is no indicator so it is very hard to distinguish when it is fully charged therefore the battery life varries

It doesn't have an indicator that shows when it is fully charged. With that said, I have never had it die on me. It seems like it gets almost 8 hours of use.

unfortunately there is no indicator light saying that the battery will die it however does provide a constant beam right until the moment that I won't be able to provide any more power. I recommend to charge it every 3 or 4 days depending on usage I ride home every night and I had a week and a half of power full beam and strobe using it 15 minutes per day

I don't think it has a charging indicator light, but generally it takes about 24 hours to fully charge on first chargeTry to connect it to your phone and see if the charge indicator comes on.

There is no indicator. The directions advised to charge for 24 hrs, I think. We charged overnight.

I have only charged it once since I bought it about a month and a half ago. I use it occasionally during the day to reinforce our dogs commands and then turn it off when not needed.

Plug it in for 24 hours the first time. It doesn't seem to show that it is charged. I have been using it off and on for the past 2 weeks and hasn't been re-charged yet.

Yes. The thing i don't like is you can't tell when it needs to be recharged. Lights up charging but not discharging.
