How long does it take for it to recharge. I find it absurd that I got one solid blue light after 5 hours of charge. Why is it slow that slow.

Depends what you're charging from and what kind of power output it has. Remember this is 13000mAh. It's a large battery. If you're charging from the wall try a different wall connector. If you're charging USB you have to consider the amp output of that port. And if you're using solar power you gotta consider output of that as well.

I did not find that to be the case. Are you charging thru a laptop? This would slow the process. I fully charged the Poweraff once and have had full power since even after recharging my cell phone multiple times a week for over a month

It took awhile for the first time. Not sure how long exactly but i left it overnight and found blue light with it fully charged

I bought mine a month ago, and have used it every week. If I use it for about a half hour, it will recharge in about 45 minutes, if I use it for a whole hour and drain more power out of the battery it takes closer to an hour to recharge. Saying I used it for half an hour may sound like I'm really hardly using it, but the weight on the outer end makes using it for anything over an hour very tiring. Initial chargeup for the battery is about an hour and a half and then you're ready to go. I really like mine so far!

I am very impressed with my light. I only use the rechargeable battery as I get the brightest results. There are also 5 light settings which can be chosen by turning the light on and "double clicking" the on/off button 1. Brightest 2. Mid brightness 3. Dimmest setting 4. Flash 5. SOS. you may have it on the wrong setting. Also, the lense slides in and out. Compressed would be a very wide light, making it dimmer. Sliding the lense out (grand the head and tail ends and pull) gives a more direct and brighter beam of light. Also. Your battery or batteries may be close to dead. Try replacing the batteries or recharging the battery. Again I prefer the rechargeable. Lastly. You may not be charging your battery fully. It must remain on the charger until full. When you place the battery in the charger the indicator light will light up red. When full it will change to green. And depending when the last time the battery was charged will take a long time. I work overnights at work once a month so I charge it before my overnights start. When the week is over I don't charge it till the next month. I have had it take 24 hours to fully charge. But that's my doing. I'm sure if you charged it once a week or so it probably won't take as long. I hope this helps. I spent $40 on this light and it's the best $40 I ever spent. I dropped the light in a pond and dropped it from 150ft+ in the air and it still works as new. Very tough and reliable light. Like I said. Hope this helps

Mine is reddish pink at plug in, you can see the blue, top edge of the light. It turns blue after charging. It takes several hours. The unit is chip made, but works. That's why cost so little. Yours may have defective light, and you possibly only see one color. Put the battery in the phone, and see the charge level before and after charging it. At least you know if it works.

It has been charging 23 hours, still the lights are blinking.... Probably it is going to be over soon. I am now fully charging for the first timeUpdate! - it has just finished charging. SO, it took almost 24 hours to be fully charged for the first time.

Hello Jorge, I want to make you a question.As you know there's a little bit confusion on the red light or blinking blue light.Does your device charge with a static red light turned on?Please let me know as I've just purchased this ITEM and i don't know if I'll have to return it.

I dint know exact but I know that the blue light, when it stops flashin, it means is done charging. It takes me like 12-24 hrs to charged or more sometimes. The charger hold for me like 1-2 hrs or more .

I bought one of these ones. it takes only 2 hours showing purple eyes and then they change to consistent blue lights. It may be worth to try to charge it using a different usb cable

I have never fully discharged it so I can't say how long a full charge would take. I recall that the first charge took under an hour. However, I have used it for well over 4 hours without a charge and a re-charge takes about 30 - 45 minutes +/-. I use a standard charger not the USB port on the computer. Seems fast to me.

If you started with a fully charged battery and ran on hi setting how soon, if ever, would the power degrade to the point where brightness was affected? I have never tried it so I don't know for certain. The spec sheet says it will put out 5000 lumens (brightest setting) for one hour 15 minutes.The charger output is 2 A.The battery rated output is 5200 mAH.The charging time Is about four hours. So you could calculate but. if it didn't work you could use back up battery pack(s). You have me curious now about what kind of an application would allow you to have it plugged in to AC four hours.

Once you turn it on or when you charge it, you will see the 5 blue LED lights (they will either be flashing or they will remain still/solid). When the lights are flashing, that will indicate the amount of charge it has or do not have, meaning if all 5 lights are flashing, it has no charge and when all 5 lights are solid and not flashing that means that it is fully charged. when you press hard on the "On" button it turns on a flashlight, but beware, it does not turn off and will stay on until the charge wears off which could be up to a week or so, and can be very annoying (at least to me its annoying). I can't turn the flashlight off on mine but it might be different on yours.

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

When it is fully charged the light turn into green and stops. I don't think there's any problem in living it more hours connected... I have forgotten it some times charging of r a day or more and nothing happened...

If you just got it, you may need to charge it longer than that for the first initial charge. I let mine charge for about 12 hours or more. Not the goal, I just didn't need it right then and I forgot about it. It worked fine when I used it about 3 weeks later after being in my purse all that time. And it fully charged my cell that was at 10%. Be sure to recharge it after use though. The light indicator should work also......And like the others replied, be sure to hold the button once you connect it to what you are charging.

Mine actually takes about 6-8 hours from full discharge. They make other chargers that are faster but this one is budget and very slow. it charges just fine but very slow.

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.
