Charging? I only connect it once a week or so, I believe it interferes with other running programs. Its dialog box is not user friendly. You really have to dig to make it work your way. Still, it is quite useful.

I'd say no it shows it's charging but if it's near a dead battery it isn't even strong enough to keep it from shutting down so no it won't charge as fast as it uses or even close .

I leave mine plug in all the time. It only charges when their is sufficient light. It also works under some lights at night.

I assume you are talking about charging the unit, and if that is the case then J. Young is correct. You cannot seem to utilize the device while it is plugged in and charging. Another thing is that when it is charging the LED flickers all wacky like when it is on. Not a bad thing, but worth mentioning.

The charger will flash red when the battery is mostly dead. As it's almost full it will flash green, however when the battery is fully charged the light will stay a solid green. Hope this helps.

I haven't experienced that problem,may be a short in whatever you plugged it into. The only problem I have is it don't stay charged for very long other than that I think it delivers as advertised .

I charge it with the usb. It doesn't last long. I am going to return it. Doesn't really work good if needed while out.

There is a charging light that stays on while the battery is charging; the 'maximum charging' light does not stay on the entire time on mine, and mine works fine. So - maybe you should have yours checked out or return it..

It takes like 3 hours to fully charge. A flashing light indicates that its charging. A solid light means its fully charged.

I believe it works like this: http://www.digikey.com/en/articles/techzone/2012/sep/a-designers-guide-to-lithium-battery-chargingSo use the supplied power adapter. The manual only says "slow flash" or "fast flash" to suggest charge state. Another user said full charge after 90 minutes. So your choice. Charge and unplug. Or leave it plugged in, and the charger does some magic later. But yeah, my light is on solid after a while as well. So the other answer may be all you need. Once the light is solid, it's in "operational mode", and we can assume that means well charged.

As long as you don't have the flash on, it really fast. Not sure why its slower if you have the flash on.

It charges while plugged in. It basically replaces the batteries and you plug the charger into the hole in the device, not the battery pack.

Mine does not charge while being used. I assume it is not supposed to do so.

Hi Bennet,Sorry for late reply.If the battery is not charged fully, its light flash.But once it is charged fully, its light stop flashing.If you have any further questions, please let us know it.

If you plug it into a computer that is on, not in sleep mode, it should start charging right away. No tricks.

Also, be aware that because of the micro USB design, it is easy to inadvertently think you have it plugged in. Check the orientation of the plug, this is even more likely if you have a case around the port.Also, although the charge holds admirably, the time it takes to charge is slow using the supplied cable....

Not sure if it's normal but mine does too as it's charging. It's great,though, and charges my phone very quickly.
