Is there some trick to charging the speaker? First time I've tried to charge it and nothing seems to be happening when plugged in via included cable.

If you plug it into a computer that is on, not in sleep mode, it should start charging right away. No tricks.

It is a bit tricky. Mine came with a charge and when it ran out I plugged it into my car charger with a usb plug in that I already had. I have no idea what the application of the bar it came with. Also, when charging with my car this way it has only held a charge for a small period of time. This is all I can tell you. I hope this helps.

It looks like you have a problem with the assembly of the unit. I went out and bought a jack to plug it into the wall. So I don't have to charge it. You can buy them at Best buy they are about $15.00. I have not had any issues with mine. I use it all the time. You may want to send it back if it is broken.

Found a reasonable solution to the problem. I bought a dock extender cable (see product link below)that seems to have solved the charging problem while connected to the speaker system. Music plays and the iphone charges. All is good.30 Pin Dock Extender Cable-50 cm in White

If the charger is too weak it won't charge the speaker. May I suggest a 2Amp charger. That's what I use to charge mine. Best of luck! This is a great product

I had a hard time the first time too, but you just have to hold the power button for a few seconds. I've had success wall charging with a universal phone charger as well as with the usb included with the speaker (charged on a computer). Also, as an FYI.. don't pull out the other connection (the one that connects to the music source) to far as I did and cannot get it to go back into the speaker.

Same here. For a while I managed to finagle it so I'd rubber band (yeah, it was huge) around the whole thing to hold the itouch in a specific spot and it would charge, otherwise, not. Now I can't seem to find that sweet spot any longer and it just won't charge. Too bad, too. I LOVE my Kicker. It sounds just perfect!!

No did you pair the speaker with your phone? I believe you put the speaker in pairing mode by holding down the power button. Check the manual. Be careful with the charging port when you charge it. After about a month mine came lose. It's lightly soldered.

i was having this issue as well...but i read that there is a RED light that turns on when the battery is charging...so i played with the USB that is plugged into the unit, and found that the red light turns on when its plugged about HALFWAY in. i checked, and it IS in fact charging. try adjusting the B side of the USB (mini part thats in the actual unit) before you return it.

Supposedly you plug it in. Mine charged once, then never charged again. Good luck....

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.

Thanks everyone. However, I KNEW I where to press to turn it on. My problem was I charged it for 16 hours and when I pressed the button it did NOTHING. I messed around with it and then took the chance on charging it for about 12 more hours. I put it on the charger and smashed it in real hard and now I think it's working. Maybe I didn't have it fully in the charger. It seems weird that it just sits in there with no connection port. We'll see. I appreciate everyone taking the time to try and help. Happy Holidays.

I don't know the technical answer, but there is something wrong with the battery or the battery cord interface. I tried two different charging cords and neither worked. There are many purchasers of this item that had the same problem (see Amazon reviews). I think mine took one charge and that was it!!! I wish it didnt have the problem, because I liked the speaker.

You are doing nothing wrong. The same thing happened to me, it seemed to never fully charge. I went through the website I bought it on and reported the problem and started the return process. I returned the unit as instructed. They replaced the unit free of charge

Mine charges fine even though sometimes the red charge light goes off within a few minutes of plugging into the charger. Defective unit possible, or maybe poor connection at some point between micro-usb port on the headphones and the charger. If trying a different micro-usb cable doesn't work, may have to seek replacement headphone...good luck.

Maybe you need to keep it connected until it is fully charged then remove the cable. give it a try .. if that is still not working then it is a problem.

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.

Mine won't charge anymore either. I think the product may be defective. How are you charging your device?
