So its like I'm charging it first? And then plug it my laptop or while the light is green I connect it to my laptop? I'm so confused.

While its green it's working. If you see red you don't have your cords together correctly. The cords do not need to charge just plug them into each other & your laptop.

Plug it into the laptop to charge the battery. The rectifier (or little black box thingy) converts 120v AC power to usable 12 volts DC power. Some plug configurations are more streamline, but the result is the same. The laptop runs while your plugged into the wall.

I leave mine connected to my laptop most of the time. and when I disconnect it, my laptop is always charged. just because your green light is on on your laptop does not mean you have to disconnect from the charger. its just showing that you can use it w/out the power connected

No, honey, what you do is plug the one with the prongs, right into the wall. Then you stick it into the box thingy. That thingy has a tail, and you put that tail into your computer, viola! This thing is the bees, knees by the way! I have mine by my bedside table every night.

You plug it in...and wait for the red light to start blinking. Once it does, turn on the main power button. The light on the chord will then turn red and you will know your charging.

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.

I put on a full charge initially, and I believe that is what the instructions say to do. When you place one in the charger, the LED on the charging will be red until the battery is fully charged, then it will turn green. Make sure battery is placed on charger correctly, or a dead battery will generate a green light immediately, even though it is dead. If that happens, just unplug, replace the battery correctly on charger, and plug it in again. Works perfectly for me. My batteries were both red and needed charging when I received them, even though they had enough charge to power camera up right out of the package.

Id have to dig out the unit. I thought there was a green light on top. Otherwise leave charging for like 12 hours with everything off. Hippie this helps.

You plug it in. You turn it on. Most plugs from what I remember are AC. Strange question.

I charge it by flipping out the USB plug and plugging it into the side of my laptop, or into your usb port in your computer. Hope this helps:)

With the battery attached, it should either be red (not yet charged) or green (charged).Might be a defective charger? If you leave it plugged in long enough does the battery get charged?

When I plug mine in it turns to red (for a sec) and then to green.. Hope this helps

You will need to plug it in and charge it first. Then the light should come on...

Plug the included cable into your desktop or laptop and have the bluetooth keyboard turned off. It should flash red that it is charging. It will take a while for the 1st charge to take. Just give it sometime.

I have not used the one I have in some time as the connection used to charge it broke on the 4th use. Having said that, I believe that when you plug it in there is a red light showing it is charging; when it's done it turns green. Good luck!
