Hello and thank you for your interest in our GAME solar underwater light show. We recommend the product to get at least a good 5-6 hour charge under the sun for best long lasting results. Please feel free to contact us anytime at fxg@game-group.com

First time, about eight hours. After that, even if the sun isn't shining, the daylight charges this unit. This really is a nice little light show if you are looking to add a bit of disco flair TO YOUR POOL SETTING.

You'll need a 24V solar charge controller, hooked up to the solar panel and then to your battery. In full sun, it will take about 20 hours to fully charge a 100 AH battery. However, you should not let your battery get much less than 50 percent of capacity between charges.

I don't know. mine is placed outside and gets direct sunlight part of the day and is in direct sunlight the rest of the day... and still it only gets enough charge to run every other night.

Hmm good question. I'll have to pay attention today. I know it said around 7hrs so my son just charges it at nighttime mostly.

I usually get a full charge on an empty battery in 4-6 hours. I have two so Irotate them.

Hard to say exactly because it depends on the intensity of the sun. I charged up mine totally in two full sun days.

This is not designed to charge anything that big. It would take 48 hours of full sunlight (4~5 days in the sun) to get a full charge and that's with it completely shut down. This works best for lower powered devices such as hand held GPS units that use x2 AA, small mp3 players, older cell phones (not a smart phone or anything with a large backlit display).

So long as you had bright sun -- you might get it if it was strapped onto a rack bag. You can also charge it with a micro usb to usb charging cable. If you have a small usb charger for your phone, for example, you could plug it in occasionally to top it off.

I agree with previous answer. Fully charge it when you get it -- it has indicator lights showing when it's fully charged -- can take about 4 hours every time. I use mine in gloves, and if it's on max heat it fully discharges in about 2 hours, but lowering the heat extends it to 4+ hours. I got a spare pair that I keep charged as well.

Batteries need to be fully charged, depending on sun, it could take a couple of days.

If the Leaf computer estimates a low range such as 15km remaining then it takes about 4 to 5 hours to bring it back to 100% charge. We charge at night when the electricity is cheaper. We often charge to 80% since this will extend the life of the battery.Good luck and consider the AeroVironment EV charger for purchase...it is a very good unit!CheersBill

With good direct sunlight, you should have no problems. Shady days and the charging goes slower.

i get about 7 hours on a full charge. but then about another 3 hours to fully charge it back up again .

I would charge it for a full 15 hours before using it. They usually come partially charged, so doing a full charge is the best way to be sure.

You'll need to leave this in the sun for most of that time. You can charge it prior using a usb and an outlet or computer. If you have a smart phone it will take longer to charge. 3 weeks is a long time, I've only used it for 5 days at the most. But it needs to be in decent sunlight for several hours. You can charge this in the sun then plug it into your phone at night to charge your phone

The first charge should be 14 hours to give your battery full capacity charge. Then, one 3 hour charge will last for about 36 hours, or you could charge it every night like smartphones.

Have a goal zero 13, when the sun is out it charges just fine. Will take a couple of days to figure out the charge rate. Charged 6 hours today got to 50% , 16 hours to full charge
