The first time I charged mine, it took over 3 hours. The light goes out when it's fully charged. The light on mine is reddish-orange when it's charging.

I'm not sure how long actually it takes to charge but it does take quite a while or so it seems.try a little bit longer. I hope it does charge for you.

It will need a 2.1 amp charger to charge fast enough. A 1amp charger will take hours. It shows a green ligh when done.

I got the 2 i ordered about 5 days ago and when it charges the led light is yellow and when its down the led light completely turns off... I never seen a red led light before... You might want to search for a online manual or check your box you received it in for details

Check your charging cable and (if applicable) the USB Wall Jack. I had this issue a while back, where the wall jack connector was not providing constant power (it'd provide it in a pulsing fashion). I later had a bad cable. Once I replaced the bad cable, it started charging with no issues.

It should only be blue when it's plugged in with no battery. It should turn red/purple when it's charging and then red/blue when it's charged. I use more almost every day and mine works fine. Maybe contract anker about a replacement?

Plug the USB part into the wall connector and the other end into the I connect. Once you plug it in a red light turns on that's how you know it's charging, when the red light turns off that means it's fully charged, it usually takes about 4+ hours to fully charge. When you plug the pack to your phone or dead device the light turns blue letting you know it's charging your device.

Well, when I tried to charge my battery, it immediately stopped. The red light on the charger went off after two seconds. So, I just used my old charger. The old one worked fine, the red light stayed on until the battery was charged.

Have you completely charged the battery? Maybe after charging, try to shut down and recheck battery status. I did not have any issues with mine, I just popped mine in and it worked great. It said they had a great support system, I would give Anker a call. Good Luck!

My red indicator light never has gone off. I am not actually sure of this, but I simply leave the charger plugged in (AC mode) in the evening, then take it out of the charger next morning. I don't see any indication of overcharging or battery memory developing.

2 - 3 hours should do it, the led light next to the charging port will change to green when fully charged.

My red light goes off after about 20mins of charging I would contact seller and see what's they say.

A few hours. A red light should come on when you plug it in to indicate it's charging and will go off when it's fully charged.

The light is red when charging. But if it doesn't hold the charge perhaps it would be best to email the seller with this question.

How long did you charge it? Sometimes it has to charge a while, even over night if it has been out a long time. Then it might make a red light first. LET GO and wait a few minutes and it may turn green. if these quirks don't fix, I don't know what else to suggest.

A red light comes on when charging. When fully charged the light goes off. It doesn't change color.

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.

I think it takes about an hour to charge. The red light goes off when the unit is fully charged.
