how do you know when charging is complete does the needle stop bouncing around thanks wayne

The amperage will decline to a low value-perhaps 1 or 2 Amps. Probably the best way to know the state of charge of your batteries is the old-fashioned way. Check specific gravity. Should be 1.260 or higher.

Takes a long time to charge. Like more than 24 hrs. It is not a very effective charger. Very basic.

I think that the charging stops when has reached a full charge. I have charged batteries overnight and don't see any harm knowing that the batteries reached full charge sometime during the night.

mine was partially charged when it arrived, but I charged it before using it.

You can charge it to be sure it is fully charged. Than you know. We didnt and feel good after a bit we will. Its fun to zap it and you can do this till its fully discharged the recharge.

Needles set with grommets. Holds it to rotary. Foot pedal plugs right in. Then slap the rubber bands mid way on gun and needle to stop needle from jumping. Smooth sailing . Enjoy. Hope that one helped. Misread it the first time.

Cody, depends upon the charger you plug this item into. I can only speak for the Tenergy charger I've got, but yes it makes an audible alert when charging is complete and stops feeding the batteries. BTW, I've learned the importance of charging the LiPo batteries at a low amperage to get a full, deep cycle charge.

It's only solid when it's charged and plugged in but goes out when unplugged. If it works ok, I wouldn't worry about it. If it bothers you, send it in for repair.

Yes. It will stop when fully charged. This is exactly how I charge mine. I leave it plugged in on nightstand and in the morning its fully charged and ready to go.

Yeah you might want to send it back or call the provider. If it's not defective it may just be the needle.

That's how it is. When it charging it does not stay on to let u know that it's charging.

I would return it for a replacement if you have any concerns with the product. Mine was stuck for a moment at the "zero" mark, but using it for a while eventually got it to "unstick". I don't think my situation was the same as yours though, because I think my issue was simply the needle just not responding. I have heard of the needle getting stuck. Google a solution, or return for a replacement. Hope that helps.

I didn't have that problem, the charge last for days. It's just a poorly made product that needs better QC done on it.

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

I have been using the sides of my fingers but if I remember correctly you can test from multiple places. I'll look at my manual when I get home and make sure. Or you might be able to find the manual online. I have been using in the mornings daily for 2 months and it's still says it has a full charge. I just test and then it turns off when I pull the strip out. So I haven't been turning it on and checking my history and such. Hope that helps! :)

do the handles work? mine usually blinks when it is charging and solid when charged

The red area means batteries are fully charged, as you operate the cart, the needle will drop into the white area, when you stop, the needle should move back into the red area, if the needle stays within the white area, the batteries need charging, that's the way mine works. Hope this helps.

Well, this is something everyone agrees on. When you attach your device a number of the four LEDs will light up and start blinking, depending on how discharged your device is. You are fully charged when all four are lit up and steady. It really is something I've found very handy.
