Not sure. It was a gift to my grandson, but I've heard no complaints about charging time.My experience in general is that charging thru USB is much slower than conventional AC charging.Doesn't the instruction sheet tell how long it should take to charge?

I think I had the same issue. We used all the charge (drained) then let it fully charge. I believe the first time took approximately 12-16 hours. It does not charge quickly.

It usually takes several hours to charge. I charge it over night. You'll know it's charged up after the red led (light) shuts off.

I'm not sure how long it takes to fully charge; I've left it charging for up to two days and the charging light never shut off. My guess for how long actually it takes to charge is like half a day or something, but that's pure speculation. And to answer the other question: Yes, as long as you're reasonably careful.

Mr. Huffine's response is correct..............solid red until charged. Charging may take as long as 48 hrs.

It takes mine a full night to get close to full. About 11 or 12 hours will charge it 100%. Try using a different charger and cable and charging it again. If it charges correctly with the new charger, replace your charger. If it still doesn't, replace the Lumsing.

Well I let it charger like 2 hours .unless that your charger is broke. Try to power it on to see if it work.

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.

there is no charging light persay. Just on and off button. When on the red light is on. no over charge protection, takes about 1 hour.

The red light won't stay on. I've plugged it both in the wall and on my computer and I have no indication that the charge is holding. Is this happening to anyone else or should I return it? I only got it today.

Im not sure how long it takes to charge but the light should turn from red to purple after it has a full charge

I think you should return the charger. Mine works for 20 to 30 min after charge. I don't remember the light thing as I haven't used it since late summer.

Mine has been charging for over six hours with no change in the solid red light. Is that normal??

I used an external charger and left it charging overnight so I'm not certain how long it actually took. I was surprised that it came to me fully discharged but after that initial charge it's been working normally.

Well I honestly charge mines all night long and the next day its ready to be used ....but I think the longer you charged it it will stay charged regardless of if the light is on , one time I left it on the charger for days and it stayed charged for a long time

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!!
