I just bought this item and I am having a hard time figuring out how to charge the battery. How can you tell when the battery is fully charged?

There is not really a way to tell it is charged I just pit it out in the sun for a few hours and that seems to work fine

I hope you didn't already buy this. I bought it and left my battery in it for 24 hrs and when I checked out it was only on 1% ! I'm not sure if it's suppose to let you know if it's charged or not b/c mine didn't come with instructions but my charger didn't let me know !!

I haven't used my new Charger long enough to answer correctly, but it has a box at the bottom that tells you when the battery is full charged, it may turn green, but I cant verify that yet. sorry.

My new battery was already charged and I used it right away. Then when I loose a bar I charge it about 20 min. when the battery light stops flashing which indicates the battery is fully charged.

Plug it in and charge it. The charge just disappears with no use. After it charges for a time the front screen will come up and tell you the charging %. It will take a day to fully recharge.

When the battery is in the charger make sure the plus and minus line up, when it is plugged into an outlet the led will light up and indicate what percentage the charge is. Let it charge until the 100% is lit.

I have a problem, that might be related and I wanted to ask people as well. When I put the battery in the charger (I have two), most of the time, even though the battery is empty, the charger shows green light and does not charge. I have to put the battery in slightly elevated angle and push on it and then it will start charging. So maybe your batteries were not charged at first place. Also happens to me, that the batteries discharge if not in use for 2-3 days, so before use I always recharge.

Just insert the batteries into the charger OBSERVING PROPER POLARITY (battery + to charger +) and wait until the charger LED goes from red to yellow to green. When the charger LED is green, the battery is fully charged.

You don't really know when it's fully charged. I still don't. I just charge it whenever I can for as long as I can. I've come to realize that if it isn fully charged, it will not charge your phone. It will just hold your battery in the same place for a few minutes longer but it will still go down.

Mine has a red light that comes on and stays on while charging. I will update when it's done charging to let you know what it does.OK, after charging the red light went off. At that point I disconnected from the charger and reconnected it, the light came on for a second and went right back off so it looks like you're fully charged. Hope this helps and enjoy!!

No battery is fully charged, unless you buy it at a store, have them charge it overnight and pick it up the next day. This battery is a good one for the money in my opinion and should last a long time, but time will tell as I have only had it five months. And No it was not fully charged and I would say it was so discharged on arrival that waiting to recharge it much longer may have already shortened its life. Buy a CTek 3300 battery charger they are the best and has made some of my batteries I have last 10 years.

Take it out of the charger and put it back in. It's just the indicator light on the charger. If you put it in the phone it should show up as fully charged. I charge my OEM battery in the wall charger all the time without any trouble.

Make sure the battery is placed correctly. When I found the battery has not been charged is usually due to not placing it correctly into the charger

You have to fully charge it via the USB cable before you use it. Once it's charged the indicator light will come on. If it doesn't. There may be something wrong with the charger

The automatic setting ... it will indicate when the battery is fully charged. Hope this is helpful.

When you plug the USB into the computer it should automatically start charging. To confirm this, select FM Radio function. When it is on the radio screen look at the top right corner. You will see the BATTERY symbol. The black bars should be sequencing across the battery symbol. When fully charged it will show four solid black bars in the battery. Hope this helps, as I can only tell you what it should do, I can't tell what yours is doing without seeing it. Best

I haven't used it in a while, as I've been traveling but there should be an LED light on either the battery or the charger which turn off or turns green when finished charging. Charge it a full 24 hours the first time before using it.
