why does it say fully charged and it lasts 5 minutes and then red battery symbol?

When we first got it ours did the same thing it just needed a full charge, not sure how long that would be because after it kept doing this same thing to me I basically just left it charging for two days. Though it doesn't really seem to have a long battery life to begin with. If that doesn't help I'm not sure, but it does take a long time to charge and without a full charge it goes dead very fast. Hope that helps.

if you get the battery to charge, then you have to worry about it locking up and freezing, the dragon touch is the slowest of all the tablets that i have ever used. thanks tablet express for nothing

I haven't had an issue with this so it might be something that develops from overcharging (not ever letting the battery die and using it while it charges) or it could be a problem people have just personally run into.

I have not had that happen. I'm not sure why it would do something like that. Sorry I couldn't help you more.

If I remember the end turns red. The battery will last one charge and then you need to charge it totally. ;-(

It doesn't seem normal. Mine will stay a solid red and then turn off once it is charged.

The red light should go off when fully charged. If it doesn't you could have a defective battery that never reaches full charge. Try another battery before you conclude that it is a charger problem.

The red light means to charge it. When the two lights stop blinking and the green is solid, it is fully charged.

5 hours sounds about right when the battery has been fully drained. Usually I just plug it in before I go to sleep at night and when I wake up it is fully charged.

i purchased it for my father but I would guess its a weak battery indicator and currently charging if it doesn't go green after a while the battery might not be chargeable anymore or a faulty charging unit , or drill . Most chargers have the same red light indicator meaning.

Hello Friend, when it is charging, a red light comes on. When it is already fully charged, the red light disappear. It takes about 3-4 hours or even more. Good luck! Anita.

There is just the 2 red LEDs and 1 green one for the "charge level" indicators, correct? If so then seeing both red and the green LED come on when you push the test button does hint it is fully charged. If this is the first time you've charged it (where it can take 24 hours to charge), then I'd double check that it's full by pulling the plug on the charger and then push the test button again after 30 seconds. You should still get the 2 red LEDs, but probably not the green. If you have a volt-meter you can also check the battery voltage on the jumper cables, full is ~14V with the charger plugged in and without it plugged in it should drop to ~13V and hold there. If you suspect the battery being bad, then the way to test it is with a known load and see how low the voltage goes. For example, I plugged in a spot-light that pulls ~4 amps and a good battery had the voltage drop to 12.4V instantly and very slowly dropped the longer I had it on (like after a minute only dropped to 12.3V). A bad battery instantly dropped to 11.2V and within 30 seconds went down to 10.5V. That's how you can tell if it's really bad.

Is it possible the battery is not charged? The instructions suggest it is necessaryto discharge fully then recharge. It may be it came discharged, and must be on charge to be recognized, I bought an inexpensive battery and it lasted aboutthree days, then began indicating it should be replaced. The only other possibilitywould be an incorrect battery?Best regards,Sammy

When the battery is charging it stay on red but when it's done it do go to green that indicate fully charged

It's probably a defect in the battery. If it's still under warranty, you need to send back. If you purchased through amazon, they should replace it without issue. The battery should last for more than a full day with normal usage.

It blinks red when charging, and stays red when charged. Haven't run it for long periods, but instructions indicates that it will go 13 hours.

Mine did not come with instructions either. Blue means fully charged and red means charging but not full. Hope this helps :)

I bought one of these, and as far as I can tell, red is when it is charging are not fully charged, and green is when it is fully charged. I hope this helps.
