There are 4 charge indicator lights that will shut of when fully charged. I was disappointed at first that this would not full chare my MotoX but with a few charge cycles it now fully charged my phone from 1%.

Charge it until the green lights go out. this took a couple of hours. I will sometimes charge my phone through the P4000 so that they charge at the same time.

If all four lights are lit up, it is already charged and ready to use. It served it's purpose and charge my phone twice completely but then failed to recharge itself. I ended up returning it.

Specifically, I don't know how long, but, the cool thing about this charger is it turns off when it's fully charged, that is, the lights don't flash any more. So, plug it in to charge, and lights flash on and off when charging --- when they stop flashing, it's done. Usually about an hour or so when fully dead. Also, leaving it plugged into the wall overnight hasn't affected it in any way. Hope that helps.

I charged mine for about 8 hours, it has lights that illuminate when fully charged. Typically it takes 2-4 hours to fully charge, but being LI Ion, I am always careful about the first charging. I have been able to charge both my Ipad and Galaxy S3 simultaneously from shutdown 0% up to 100% on a single charge. This does charge devices much faster than normal chargers do for either device.

depends on your rate of charge. But if you charge at 5.3 probably about 45 minutes.

You need to hold the button for a few secs, you should see a green light on it while it's charging. Hold until you see.the green light. It should be fully charged well before 7 hours.

Initially it says to charge it for 4hrs then I think it takes less time after the first few charges.

it must give you like 24 hours of use or more cause i got mines 45 days ago and charged it once ... i have used it like 3-4 times a week

I charged mine for about 4 hours before I used it. The battery loses juice as it sits. So only charge it before you use it.

You can charge it with the supply USB cable via your computer or if you have any old mini USB charger (old cell phone charger). Mine last around 4 hours on every charge, you can ask for more with $8 device. Good luck and enjoy.

I don't know exactly how long to charge, I usually plug it in at night and let it charge overnight. However, I would definitely buy a back-up to have ready.

I would charge it for a full 15 hours before using it. They usually come partially charged, so doing a full charge is the best way to be sure.

Charge it for 12 to 24 first, then use it as normal. You probably don't have to do that but I always do to be safe.

The initial charging time is 24 hours. Let it charge for 24 hours before you use it.

For first time usage, it may take less than an hour to charge the tablet. If you have been using the tablet on a regular basis, it may take about one hour and fifteen minutes to charge.

you can charge the battery after your first charge from now on to 6-8 hours.

Let it charge for 8 to 12 hours. It charges slowat first this helps the battery live longer. you want long term battery health let it charge 100 percent. Then it should be good. I love mine!

None of these answers look right to me.. From the manual: "It takes at least 24 hours to fully charge the battery". From the quick start guide: "Before you start, charge for 2 hours minimum". Basically: 24 hours for a full charge. If you can't wait to use it, make sure you charge for 2 hours before using it the first time.

i think the first time to charge was 2 hours, but we don't use it everyday, only every 4 weeks( i got it for my son who is in the Army)so it seems to last a long time. love the convenience of charging in the computer!

We usually charge it over night after each use to ensure a full charge for the next time. But after 6 to 8 hours it's good to go. I like to let them run it completely down and then charge it just so the battery doesn't get a memory.
