How long does it take to charge? It has been 4 hours since I plugged into my computer and still not charged.

I don't think it will charge through a computer, mine doesn't. I use my iPhone chargers wall adapter and plug the cord into it, it does take a good while to charge though.

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.

How long are you letting it charge for? I let it charge for a few hrs the first time, since then I have rarely had to charge it. Try letting it be charged for hrs if you haven't yet...if that fails to make a difference, or if you've already done this, I'd attempt to return the item.

It seems to only take a few hours. I plug it in overnight and it's charged in the morning.

Use a 2.1 amp charger with a micro usb plug for the device. It will take several hours to charge. If you use a 1 amp charger it will take at least 6 hours. I doubt that a usb slot on your computer (most are about 0.5 amp) would work.

On mine, a red light comes on when you plug it into computer and goes off when charged. Don't know how long for charging.

Hi, it took about 3-4 hours for the first time charging. When I charged the pack, before I used it, all the lights were on except one. I would wait a couple of hours and if the status has not changed, it might be defective.

You should be able to turn the computer on as soon as it's plugged in, but in my experience it takes about an hour to fully charge.

I would expect a few hours for a full charge. What indicators do you have of battery level? There are indicators on the bottom of many packs. Push the button and see how many lights show. Also, if you are using your computer heavily with screen at full brightness, a lot of the juice will go into running the laptop. There won't be much left to recharge the battery. You might try putting it aside to sleep for an hour and checking back later. Of course, if the battery is bad or the calibration is way off, that is another thing. If you charge a sleeping computer all night and only get 30 minutes of use before it's dead again, that's not good. There are ways to address that but someone else may know off the top of their head.

I charged it over night. So I don't know how long it actually took to charge. I do know the charge is good for a few hours of use, though. Sorry i can't be more specific.

no, you have to put it in your computer and charge it for a couple of hours, then it works wonderfully, my computer worked like new in a couple of days!

I just plugged it into my computer. I believe I left it plugged in for about an hour or 2. That was several months ago, the radio is still holding a charge.

Hi Mathew, I usually plug mine overnight but I think it might take 4 0r 5 hours.

I haven't actually timed it but I guess it takes between 2 to 3 hours. It depends on if you are using it while charging.

It didn't take that long to charge my new battery. I would think a few hours would be good. Maybe you got a new battery that was bad?? Hope this helps...
