I charged it overnight. Don't know how long it takes for it to start working.

I plugged mine in for the recommended 8 hours, but the light remained red. As the directions were firm not to leave it plugged in longer, I unplugged it. Did anyone else's light change from red to green when charging it? It works great so far!

The first time I tried to charge mine it did the same thing, I moved around the charger connection to get the red light to stay on, you may have to unplug an plug in again to get the red light to stay on. The other issue that causes problems is the delay between getting a good connection and when the red light actually comes on. Plug it in and wait a few seconds to see that the red light comes on and stays on.

I don't remember how long it took, but mine was not in the ON position and it still needed to be charged. It does hold a charge quite well, once charged, but I do remember thinking the light was never going to stop blinking ;-)

I called the Samsung company, and he told me to keep it plugged in the wall, and eventually it was a steady light and it started to charge. I let it charge for a while and it was totally charged. So try this before you go out and buy a new battery.

When you plug it in, the light on the end is blue and when it is fully charged, it turns red. I don't know exact time. When I run out, I plug it in and leave it. I think maybe a couple of hours (?) By the time I plug it in, my phone is fully charged, so I don't need the backup for a while.

the only thing I can suggest is to charge it for twenty or so minutes, then power it back on. By that time, it should be ok to receive a call or place one. when it is completely dead, then charging time may differ from one hour to several hours.

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

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.

It is suppose to take 3-4 hours to charge the PowerBank. It is fully charged when it stops flashing red. However, my PowerBank is defective and I'm waiting for the seller to advise how to return and get a replacement.

Hello Jorge, I want to make you a question.As you know there's a little bit confusion on the red light or blinking blue light.Does your device charge with a static red light turned on?Please let me know as I've just purchased this ITEM and i don't know if I'll have to return it.

I don't have this problem. Make sure the light on the charger turns from red to green. I haven't clocked it but it takes like 10 hours.

How long did you charge it? Sometimes it has to charge a while, even over night if it has been out a long time. Then it might make a red light first. LET GO and wait a few minutes and it may turn green. if these quirks don't fix, I don't know what else to suggest.

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.

I'm assuming you have it plugged into a USB port to charge it or pressed the power button to check charge level. Accd to user guide, 1 LED blinking = less than 10% capacity and needs charging. After a few hrs of charging one light will be on solid, middle should blink, then middle solid, 3rd blinking. When fully charged all 3 lights should be on solid (~ 6 hrs). To minimize charge time use a 1A or higher USB charger vs a computer port which only puts out max of 1/2 A.

Yeah that's normal. Charge it overnight. That's actually a good sign. A slow charge is better. Same with mine. 6-8 hours.
