How do you know when it's done charging? How long does it take? The red light comes on when I put the light in the charger and just stays on.

I bought it for someone else so I never noticed if it shuts off automatically

I've been using Stingers since they were available. We had chargers in the PD and in the cars, not to mention my personal in home and POV chargers. The only time I've ever seen the red light go out was about a week ago when my 12yr old one burned out. It still charges the flashlight, just no red light.

mine did that initially. i left it charge for 10 hours then used it till it was dim. After the second charge the light went off when i assumed it was charged. hope that helps.

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.

I've had mine for just a month, and the red charging light turns off after about 2 minutes. But that doesn't seem to matter much because the keyboard has never stopped working. So maybe the red light isn't supposed to stay all the time while it's charging???

With mine, all the green lights are on when it's fully charged, but now always. I have no idea what the red light means. It may be just for show. I wouldn't buy another one of these, though. It works 95% of the time. Sometimes I pull the battery off after a few hours, and it hasn't charged. It didn't come with any type of documentation.

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.

Erin , seems like the light is on just right after you connected with the charger, then will be gone,never had any issue once is charged , lots of hours working without charging, enjoy it !!

Red light just shows that power is on. When the light is blinking it is charging. It will be steady green when it's fully charged.

Make sure the "on" switch is OFF when you plug it in to charge it, the red light will come ON if its charging. It wont charge if the switch is still "on", like I've done a couple times when I let it run out of power while I was watching it. I forgot to turn it "Off" and it didnt charge when I plugged it in to charge. If that doesnt work, then maybe your battery is defective and you could send it back if its under warrenty still.

Red light comes on when charging. It doesn't sound like you have it plugged into a good power source if it died while plugged. I ran mine for 3 days plugged in then on a 7 hour drive in the car on battery. Try plugging the USB into another charger or make sure if you are using a computer that it's powering the USB port.

There is a charging light that stays on while the battery is charging; the 'maximum charging' light does not stay on the entire time on mine, and mine works fine. So - maybe you should have yours checked out or return it..

On my charger the green light (power)and red light (charger) both come on when charging, with (no) flashing on or off! When the battery is charged, the red light (charger)goes off but the green light (power)stays on until you unplug the charger! Charge time is about 1 hour and 20 minutes!

In the directions it says that the red charging light should go off after charging is complete. Unfortunately it doesn't. I let mine charge for over 8 hours and the light remained on. The red light only indicates that it's charging. It will hold charge. Haven't had any other problem with my unit.

When fully charged the red light will turn off. Now I don't use mine while charging but I would assume that it would slow it down somewhat. My first couple of times using it I put a full charge on it and wore it all the way out and now I usually just charge it every couple of days or so, depending on how much I used it that day.

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.

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.

When you start to charge it a small red LED on it starts to blink. When it is fully charged it stops blinking. I haven't had mine long enough to answer your "how many hours" question. If the answer is not in other questions on this page, there is a similar device on Amazon selling for about $11. Somewhere on either that device or this one, someone said how long their's lasted on one charge. The time on the $11 device is probably the same as this one.

Yes, the instruction says once it's completed charging, the red light will turn to green. The standard charging time is 5 hours. Make sure to switch off before charging.
