I have the little Oontz Angle Portable, when is it done charging? How does it indicate? Does the blue flashing light stop or what? I really want to know so I don't ruin my battery!

Changes color, solid not blinking. I don't remember the color, because I charged it once, then gave it to a grand son. I bought 2, both work well.

I dint know exact but I know that the blue light, when it stops flashin, it means is done charging. It takes me like 12-24 hrs to charged or more sometimes. The charger hold for me like 1-2 hrs or more .

You will see the battery light turn off once the battery is full. There should be no reason that it can remain plugged in. The battery is a Lithium Battery, just like most cell phones. Now with that said...all of us have used our cell phones while it is plugged in and they tend to get hot. My advice would be to use this as it was designed. Charge it....unplug it....use the speaker..recharge when battery is low. There are other bluetooth speaker that you can get that don't have a rechargeable battery in them that will remain plugged in via their own AC Adapter. I personally dont like to use my portable gadgets that have rechargeable batteries while they are plugged in.

I only know that i need to charge it when it stops playing music, but it can be in the on or off position to charge, i prefer the off position though because it charges faster. there is no indicator for it charging however.

Yes, you get a light signal when battery needs recharging and there is another light signal when it has finished charging. There is no "low battery" notice though. So its use it until the battery is done. Might be in the middle of a session.

I do not think it was charged at first. When I plug it in, it lights up yellow/orange. Then when charged, it goes dark. But when I turn it on with the switch it flashed blue.... its in pairing mode. Then it connects

I believe the first time I charged it a couple of hours and the charge lasted an insane amount of time. It was odd. This is a great product for the money but there's no indicator that tells me when it's time to charge. I use mine when I run and when it starts cutting out a lot, that's when I know when to charge it. I use it with an iPhone.

It says in the packet to let it charge for 5 hours or until the light turns blue. I did this and it stillwouldnt ccharge any of my devices. I actually bought another one and it works fine. Im guessing the first one was just defective. My new one ibe left on charge.over night and it seems to.work just fine.

Joseph, I've never gone 24 hrs w/o a charge but the light lasts a long time. I run it on stone mode which I sense consumes lots if battery(while riding for safety) and it lasts for 3-4 hours no issue. I often do that 2 days in a row and then connect to the charger after the second ride. There is no "meter" telling you where you are on the charge and it's better to have and not need than to need and not have. Finally, a bunch of my buddies have the same light and it works well for everyone in my group.

I don't have a definitive answer for that, but I have charged mine many times, and it seems to stop when the charge is complete.

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 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.

When the battery is charging, there is a flashing amber light. When fully charged, there is a solid amber light. Hope that helps.

I've read that these sometimes have a break-in period and that the charging indication corrects itself after a few days of use. I'd try charging it up and using it and recharging it a few times to see if that helps. Only "problem" is that the charge lasts a long long time! Good luck.

Same here. For a while I managed to finagle it so I'd rubber band (yeah, it was huge) around the whole thing to hold the itouch in a specific spot and it would charge, otherwise, not. Now I can't seem to find that sweet spot any longer and it just won't charge. Too bad, too. I LOVE my Kicker. It sounds just perfect!!

I had also left it overnight charging when I first got it. It completely got a full charge. What happened to me the time I had to solar charge it was that the button on the side I had it set to charge instead of off and it took a while to charge it...however it's a great device to have. It last a long time once you use it. You can charge a couple of things before you need to charge it again.

Hello Brooke. I have had it for awhile so to be honest I can't remember for sure and can't find the box, however, I was pretty sure it did. A quick check of the Oontz website confirms my belief: In the Box - ContentsThe OontZ Angle -Ultra-portable wireless Bluetooth speakerMicro USB connector charging cable (charging use only, not for data)3.5mm Audio line-in cableThe OontZ Angle User GuideGood luck.
