How do you tell when it is fully charged?

Charge for 8 hours and then your fully charged for the first charge. After that, you'll have to wait unti thel flashlight gets dim and then recharge for 3 hours. Other than that there's no other way to know. For the price you can't beat it. The light is bright and it will knock someone on their butt if you get them in the face or neck. If you shock them anywhere else on the body they'll get knocked back and want no more of it. My fiance accidently shocked herself on the hand and her arm down to her hand felt weird for 20 minutes and she was crying.

Plug it in and charge it. The charge just disappears with no use. After it charges for a time the front screen will come up and tell you the charging %. It will take a day to fully recharge.

There is a battery level indicator on the battery. You press a button and a series of green indicator lights show how much charge it has.

If you turn it on while it is charging, the battery icon that it has in the top right corner will cycle between three bars flashing and when all three bars are visible and no longer flashing, it is fully charged. Just so you know, when you charge it while it is off, the battery icon doesn't appear but it still does charge.

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.

I haven't used it in a while, as I've been traveling but there should be an LED light on either the battery or the charger which turn off or turns green when finished charging. Charge it a full 24 hours the first time before using it.

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.

Mine appears to already be fully charged, so I can't tell yet. I'd have to run it down a while, I guess. Does yours not record anymore? I'm also not sure how it indicates when it is in the charging mode. If I learn more I'll get back to you.

On my phone, I see a black area grown as the battery is used. After recharging the phone will chime letting me know it has a full charge. I make sure the battery is seated properly. I can go in stand-by mode for several days and the battery indicates a full charge.

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. I got a similar unit and when I first plugged it in, it too showed "fully charged".

Mine has a red light that comes on and stays on while charging. I will update when it's done charging to let you know what it does. OK, after charging the red light went off. At that point I disconnected from the charger and reconnected it, the light came on for a second and went right back off so it looks like you're fully charged. Hope this helps and enjoy!!

I believe there's a light that flashes while it's charging, but it remains solid once it's full charged. It takes several hours to charge completely.

As far as I know, it must be turned on the charge/show that it is charging.

Yes! It will tell you it's fully charge when the battery is 100%. It will also tell you to unplug the device.

I am not totally sure, if I haven't charged it in a few weeks, I would probably charge it up again. However, the indicator lights make it very obvious what the status is (whether fully charged or not, how much charge is actually left)
