It says to charge the new unit for 24 hours, but when I plug it in - the charge status is green for "Charging Complete." Should I charge still?

That is the manufacturers recomendation. The green light may be from a surface charge build up. Our unit has worked well. Enjoy.

I go ahead and charge it. I think you have to charge it now and then even if you don't use it.

I got a similar unit and when I first plugged it in, it too showed "fully charged". I then unplugged it and checked the battery level, but it instantly showed 0V. So that told me the "full charge" reading was false and the charger was giving me that reading while the battery seemed like an "open circuit" and was not accepting power yet. So I did leave it plugged in and within 1/2 hour it began dropping the reading to show 65% charged or such which I knew was more realistic. So despite getting that "full charge" reading off the bat, it does need the charge time.

Just always leave it charging, they can't over-charge and will last longer this way.

We did. Then proceeded to inflate every tire we could find and recharged. Worked great

The first full charge is crucial. Charge it the full 24 hrs or more. The unit will regulate the charge, so you can keep it plugged in and on charge for as long as you want. Clore will send you recharging reminders via e-mail if you subscribe. You also receive other valuable info in those newsletters. Good luck.

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.

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.

I re-charge until the green light goes off. This is only when I know I'm going to need it soon. Obviously if it will be weeks or months before needing it, I don't re-charge.

It's supposed to turn green when is fully charged! I don't know what's wrong with yours ! You may need return it!sry

Mine did the same thing. It is charging, but the software doesn't recognize it. I installed an app called "coconut battery" to tell me when it was fully charged.

I would give it another day to charge. After the unit has been fully charged (I think it can take up to 12 hours) it should turn blue. If it doesn't turn blue then change the charging cord and see if that makes a difference.

It takes mine a full night to get close to full. About 11 or 12 hours will charge it 100%. Try using a different charger and cable and charging it again. If it charges correctly with the new charger, replace your charger. If it still doesn't, replace the Lumsing.

Then there is something wrong with it. It should only take a few hours to fully charge. I don't know any other way other than with the charger it comes with. Sorry

sounds like the battery is going or needs a full 24 hr charge - check the initial instructions to see if you missed a step

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.

I also charged mine for 24 hours, actually longer cause I charged it in the guest bathroom. Anyway, I pressed the button and while holding it you slide it up and it turns on. Maybe charge it longer and if that doesn't work it might be a defected one. Hope you can figure it out, otherwise you'll have to send it back and wait to get another one. I love mine, so it would be worth the wait if you had to return it.

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.

Did you make sure everything was plugged in well. Sometimes putting the cord onto the power source is a little hard and if it was on all the way then I would say something is wrong because within the 24 hours mine was fully charged.

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...

Hi Thomas Q., I ordered mine and plugged it in and I believe it has charged the batteries. I will check tonight when I get home to see if they were fully charged and let you know. I do know the charger red light came on when I plugged it in which should signify it is working and charging.FD

There should be a little blue light that comes on on the bottom that let's you know that it's charging. If the light isn't coming on, but it's charging maybe it blew out? Otherwise, I'd contact the company. They're really approachable. :)
