I just purchased this and am charging it now. But it charged only 2% after 30 minutes. it's not right, is it?

My son bought this for me for Christmas and explained that the rate at which this huge backup battery charges depends upon the charger that you use. He said that I can use pretty much any of those things that plug into the wall. One for an i phone, bluetooth or android. They will just charge at different rates.

Let it charge for 8 to 12 hours. It charges slowat first this helps the battery live longer. you want long term battery health let it charge 100 percent. Then it should be good. I love mine!

Actually, my first full charge took almost 48 hours. I initially thought the battery was defective. However, every charge after the first one has been relatively "normal" (4 hours or so for a fully depleted battery). I'm very pleased with the battery's performance. It lasts for slightly over 48 hours with GPS, Wi-FI, and Bluetooth turned on; and normal call/text/surfing use.

Don,t know. Plugged mine in and charged overnight the first time and it was fully charged in the morning. Have had acceptable performance so far after a month or so.

Yeah that's normal. Charge it overnight. That's actually a good sign. A slow charge is better. Same with mine. 6-8 hours.

I think I had the same issue. We used all the charge (drained) then let it fully charge. I believe the first time took approximately 12-16 hours. It does not charge quickly.

I'm changing my answer. The answer is YES! Mine is charging now after I put the power switch in the correct position. Sorry for previous response.

I just received mine. I am still letting charge to full power. The light is still blinking so it is no up to full power yet.

Mine was nearly fully charged when I received it. I have not run the battery completely dead during any single use yet, so I can't be certain. I would guess it should fully charge within an hour.

I can only speak about my charger. When I 1st used it I charged it 4 8hrs (electric ).Give it a full then see what happens.

I think you must have gotten a faulty unit, mine lasts for at least a week on a full charge. I would contact support on that.

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.

I have forgot to check mine on charging for up to a half an hour over time limit and have yet to harm it. Just to let you know, I just checked mine and it is still charged after sitting for two months without being checked.

I got a similar unit recently and when I plugged it in, it too showed 100% charged. However, I unplugged the charger and checked the battery voltage which instantly dropped to under 6V. So that told me that the battery wasn't accepting a charge and the "100%" reading was coming from the charger just while plugged in. So I left it plugged in and after an hour it did start accepting a charge and the reading dropped to 60% or such. So it does take at least 12 hours, after that if it starts displaying 100% it probably is charged.

If I remember correctly, mine was only partially charged when I got it. Sorry I couldn't be more precise.

Mine did the same thing. Just leave it in. It charges just fine (even though it saus differently)

I believe you were supposed to charge it for several hours when you first got it. I can't locate the paper that came with mine right this minute but I'm pretty sure that's what it said. In any case, it sounds like its no good and you need to return it.

i was having this issue as well...but i read that there is a RED light that turns on when the battery is charging...so i played with the USB that is plugged into the unit, and found that the red light turns on when its plugged about HALFWAY in. i checked, and it IS in fact charging. try adjusting the B side of the USB (mini part thats in the actual unit) before you return it.

No, mine seems to be just fine. I have had it about a month and already charged it many times.

Well I let it charger like 2 hours .unless that your charger is broke. Try to power it on to see if it work.
