I'm trying to charge my Power Bank, and it started at 79%. It remains at 79% after about 30 minutes. Anyone else have charging issues of the unit?

these batteries take some time to charge. It is the nature of the beast that the time extends as the charge reaches higher capacity. The last 10% can take as long as the first 70%. I find the percentage on any battery as more of a guideline than a definitive measure. I wouldn't say you have a problem with the product just yet.

Last night, I noticed it got stuck at 90% while charging. I simply disconnected it, and reconnected, and it hit full capacity within 5 min's.

It's a slow charge so it may take a while, try leaving it for 2 hours then see if the problem exists . If it still don't charge then send it back you may have a defect .I just got may replacement.

I've had times the number didn't change much for a while and then suddenly jumped. I'd keep an eye on it though.

Yes, I think you might have a problem. I have purchased 2, and both actually charged up with in an hour. Make sure the device you had it plugged into, to charge, didn't go to sleep, and stop charging.

I had the same problem, and returned mine. It started off barely charging and then would not even power on anymore. There is obviously a defect.

I had trouble with it charging at all. I emailed deerbrook support because it was past the time to return it to Amazon. I sent it back to them and they said they would repair or replace. I would see if Amazon will exchange it since you just got it.

Yes, I have. I mainly use it for my phone and I've noticed that it shuts off automatically and stops charging. Despite having (presumably) charged all night. I'm getting ready to return it.

Are you trying to charge from the panels directly? If so it will take a lot longer. The idea is to charge from the power pack using the USB connection on the front of it. Many phones (including mine) will only charge up to around 70-75% from the battery pack. You would think a battery is a battery but the AA charge a lot quicker in my experience so far. Make sure can charge the battery pack. If you cant charge the AA battery pack then you might have a bad charge controller on the unit

I got mine over a year ago and have not had any charging problems. I am on it quite a lot and charge it once a day just as a habit but it would stay charged for hours.

I never had a problem with it charging. Might be a defective device. It happens with mass produced products.

Try different chargers. If it is all the way exhausted, plug it in and wait 20 minutes or so. Sometimes it doesn't respond for a while, until it has a little bit of charge. Good luck.

I've never had any trouble charging it. It takes a little longer, but not overnight. I would check with the manufacturer if I were you.

Sorry, I have never had that problem with mine.. Mine holds it's charge for a long time.

Mine was @ 2% the other night and within an hour, was fully charged. Now that will depend on the quality of USB you're using also.

I think I had the same issue. We used all the charge (drained) then let it fully charge. I believe the first time took approximately 12-16 hours. It does not charge quickly.

I'm sorry to hear that. Mine seems to be working fine. I've used mine for more than 6 minutes. Make sure it is fully charged before using it.

You are doing nothing wrong. The same thing happened to me, it seemed to never fully charge. I went through the website I bought it on and reported the problem and started the return process. I returned the unit as instructed. They replaced the unit free of charge

Hasn't been a problem for me but the more I read, the more I see owners having 'issues' with power-related matters (not fully charging, etc.). The battery on the unit itself seems to perform well under stated times and (for me) is slow to recharge. Good luck with it.

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
