I leave mine plugged in the whole time that i'm using it . Which is never over two hours at the most . And it usually stays blue for hours .

Charge it overnight. Do not think you can over charge it. I just love the loud sound this produces. Music never sounded better

I don't know the answer to this question. Sorry. I just plug mine in for a few hours and have never been concerned about over-charging it. The first one I had lasted for several years before it finally died--probably from dropping it too much.

It will charge to 100% in less than 2 hours. A full charge lasts me up to 5.5 hrs, continuously playing music.

Had a similar issue; it had to be replaced. Based on what I was told when I called them, the initial batch of these went out with this sort of problem. In my case, while it still worked, it would no longer charge and was not recognized by the computer's USB port (I tried it on several different computers). As I recall, mine did not have a model number on it, which was their indication that it was one of those in the first batch.

I charged it for an hour and a half the first time I charged the player, then an hour the next time, but the unit was not totally uncharged. The website instructions do not give specific charge times.

Thanks for your suggestions, Bubba. I did try to charge it from my computer as well without success. I've had the iPod for a little over a year and probably didn't use it enough. The functionality of a GPS would have increased its usefulness to me immensely, but adding the cost of a battery replacement to this cradle makes this a rather expensive move. To be sure, I'll follow your tip and try a different cable, but I'm not overly optimistic at this point.Edit: The USB cable *was* the culprit. Got a new one today and just ordered my GPS cradle...

I received it UPS..I plugged it up that evening. Like all electronics they ask you to charge it overnight. I did and much to my amazement I don't use it everyday but but when I went to use it again it was still fully charged. I love it and it shocks everyone if I have it sitting on my desk and my ipad is in my desk drawer. Everyone is wondering how I'm getting music from it....enjoy its worth it.

I just got the 16GB for Christmas. After reading all the battery posts, the first thing I did was charge it fully, then play it until the battery died. I got 20+ hours. I think a lot has to do with how often the screen is "lit". If you're constantly shuffling through, picking songs, adjusting volume etc. i think one would get less life than just playing it like I did (the screen was black most of the time since I wasn't adjusting anything). And of course, i would expect video or games to kill the battery even quicker. That would be a good test, play a video straight through and see the life. I don't have any videos loaded, so I can't really test that.

Hi David, are you sure that you. Charged it correctly? By that I mean, have you charged it from a wall outlet? If you're charging it from a computer some computers require you to plug in the sound/speaker cable too. For example, when I plug it in to my laptop to charge I just need the USB cable and that it, it will charge. BUT if I am charging it from my Desktop I need to ALSO plug in the headphone/speaker cable. So you might think it is charging when it is not. If you're going to. Charge it from a desktop make sure you plug in the USB cable to the computer AND the speaker/headphone cable too. Also make sure the blue light is blinking. That will tell you that it is charging. I hope that helps!

Well for me I play it one notch from full volume on my note 3 with an eq setting for more bass and got 9 hrs and 45 Minutes. So I imagine you would get 11 hours at least on normal. I'll charge it and time it at a normal volume soon.

It means it's already charged. The problem I had though, with two that I ordered, is that neither one would charge at all or even indicate they were plugged it. I ended up returning them both. I think they were scrappy refurbs or simple repages of previously broken returns, but can't prove it.

Let it charge all the way until all led white lights from the back are lit up. It may take a while but just leave it be for a while. P.S: when I first got my JBL I tried playing it immediately, I plugged it in and it synced and noticed that it died even though it was in the charge. Well I waited for it to charge about until it at least got 3 leds in the back and then it played music all day practically. I'm guessing it just needs a lot of juice before it can actually play otherwise the music via Bluetooth will kill off the battery quickly so it just needs enough power to keep it alive first.

I've never charged it by plugging it into the wall, only the computer. Oh wait - I take that back. You just take the USB adapter that comes with it and plug it into a wall plug with a USB port. I do this if listening to it while hooked up to speakers so it stays charged.

Hi. I started charging mine as soon as I unboxed it. It had some charge to it but not 100%. So far mine is ok but I hope both of us didn't get a refurbished product. Maybe someone else will reply too.

Charge it overnight using the USB cable with the smaller connector plugged into the cube and the USB end plugged into power source. If it still only play for a little bit after charging over night then you may have a defective battery.

Left mine playing its games until it was "Dead" flat.Rapid charged it via usb until it said it was full and then reset the time and date.Its behaved perfectly since!!!Odd but it seems to have worked!Good luck to all :0)

Gee I had one from the charger that I ordered from another source that was over charging. Best bet? Buy a charger and cut the cable. A decent XLR cost about 7 bucks anyway.

IT is my son's Ipod.....I would venture to say 4 hrs. straight playing and it's time to charge. must connect to new pin charger and wall charge or simply connect to usb on computer.,
