I would just check to make sure they are charged after they will last for atleast 6 hrs

They come singly and not in a package. Don't know if they are recharged or not but so far the first one seems to work as normal. Time will tell.

I actually plug them in to charge and forget it. But I would guess an hour or two would be sufficient.

I had the same problem. I charged them for 18 hours and the red light never went out. Once I paired them with my phone though the charging indicator functioned correctly.

Weather doesn't matter. Mine came already charged but you'll need to keep them on for them to work consistently. Put 'em out rain or shine. :)

I had to charge the batteries after I got them and they work fine. Try charging them.

I put them in my solar lights in the morning so they would have all day to charge. I don't know if they come already charged or not.

I believe you were supposed to charge it for several hours when you first got it. I can't locate the paper that came with mine right this minute but I'm pretty sure that's what it said. In any case, it sounds like its no good and you need to return it.

We have only used them after charging overnight. I assume only, they are not quick charge.

Generally, it takes a few hours. I sometimes leave them on the charger over night for the first charge. No worries. It's well worth the wait.

Yes, I use mine and they charge fine but I yhink they take a little longer.

Well I used them in my solar lights, and they work fine, so I wouldn't be able to really answer charge time. I plugged them early in the am, and that night the lights were working fine.

Recharge these anytime. In fact, best to NOT let these run down entirely, as these (unlike Ni-Cad) have no 'memory.'Mainly don't overcharge. These take about a 2 hour charge, and overcharging in an attempt to bring them up to full capacity cause battery 'stress.' You can get the full, more scientific answers to your questions if you Google. Also, remove from charger after charging.

Youre supposed to let it charge for a few hours the first day you get it. If that doesnt work maybe you should contact the company and get a new one.

I bought these for my Dad as a Christmas present. He waited 9 months to charge them. The Batteries were bad. Never got 1 use out of them. I would charge them. The same day they come in. Use them ASAP. Return them if you are not happy.

I charged them as soon as I received them just to make sure that they worked as expected. If you waited until 30 days later, you would not be able to return them if found to be defective.

They are dated with a time stamp saying how long they will retain the full charge they were shipped with. Upon inspection they needed charging when I received them....
