Simply, please tell how to charge this unit and how long does it take and how do you know when it's fully charged? Thanks very much!

I've had a few hiccups with charging it. But Hold the Orange button down till you see the Solar light or the one next to it blink then let it sit in the sun for as long as possible. You can tell it's charged by the percentage lights when you press the orange button. You can also use a input cable and plug it into the wall.

There is s mini usb port on the side of the charger. Plug into that to charge the unit. It took me some searching on the internet to figure this out also. I think I've answered this question here before also.

Do you mean how long does it take to charge? But the hours it last is until you unplug it.

Mine came with at least a half charge. I plugged it in until the light turned green and then a couple more hours just to make sure. I'd say it takes about 6 hours to go from completely drained to completely charged.

The first time you can expect it to charge 100%. That takes about one hour or so. After that unless you replace the batteries with the ones that came with the unit, it will stop working after it charges up to 15% (that takes 20 mins.) If you need enough juice for a phone call, it works.

Thanks everyone. However, I KNEW I where to press to turn it on. My problem was I charged it for 16 hours and when I pressed the button it did NOTHING. I messed around with it and then took the chance on charging it for about 12 more hours. I put it on the charger and smashed it in real hard and now I think it's working. Maybe I didn't have it fully in the charger. It seems weird that it just sits in there with no connection port. We'll see. I appreciate everyone taking the time to try and help. Happy Holidays.

Just charge it for eight hours and it will be fully charged. There is no indicator light. There are some helpful videos on YouTube

I found the charging time to be about a 1.5 to 2 hours. There is a red/orange light that illuminates when you first plug it in. It will go out when it is fully charged.

As per the instructions you charge it for 12 hours then totally drain the battery 10 to 12 times. Not do it once. It has to do with battery memory. Also use a full 110 wall charger for charging and not a weak USB port to charge.

I did the same thing. I found a review that explained it. To charge the charger you need to plug a mini usb into the side of the charger to charge it. It will charhe fully in a few hours. I didn't see the mini usb port until I read the review.

Did everyone try charging the unit while it is powered off?It seems to make a different to me. I bought three(3) and so far all battery seemed to be decently averaged out around 2.5 hours or so (mainly net surfing and video conferencing) after few months of usage. Power on while charging seems like charges don't hold too well even it shows 100% charged.Try it out...it may make some different.

I've had mine for months and only charged it the initial time. I don't recall how long it took. I only use it a couple of times a week but the charge has held.

Hmm - I don't know that I've ever really checked the amount of time it takes to go from completely dead to a full charge. I normally just plug it in to an outlet and leave it for an hour or two and then it's good to go. You can also use the USB to charge it on your computer - which is nice. It's really a nice little charger - I use it all the time on trips, or if I know I'm going to be away from the house all day I'll keep it in my pocket just as a safety measure in case my phone battery dies.

It takes a while to charge. Just plug it into a USB port that's constantly on like your cable box, or if you have a newer TV. You can also use your cell charger, just switch the cables. It usually rubs about an hour and a half to 2 hours. The red light well go of once fully charged. I love this speaker!

It was fully charged as soon as I turned mine on. I don't know how long it takes to fully recharge after the battery has been depleted

When I received mine, it was charged. It usually takes a couple of hours to charge it up.

It probably took about two hours for the battery to fully charge. I have used it off-and-on for maybe an hour a night for two weeks. The battery is still going strong. The unit goes to sleep after 15 minutes of non-use to save battery. Hope that helps.
