The red light indicates the unit is plugged in, and that is charging. It does not go out.

From my experience, as long as the unit is attached to the charger and AC is active, the light stays on. I usually plug it in only when the unit seems low and leave it plugged in overnight.

I am just a customer, like you, but the power indicator light on my receiver is not visible unless it is lit, then it appears right next to the charging port. Perhaps if you charge it you will see the red indicator light.

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 just had an issue with mine not charging. It got to zero and when I rebooted with it plug into the USB charger, I could see the little lighting bolt on the battery indicating it was trying to charge, but it shut off because of low batter. Kind of a Catch-22. I tried this cycle a few times and was fed up, so I decided to unplug it and let it 'die down' for half a day. Then I plugged it back in and the screen showed me that it was charging! I let it charge up for a few hours and it started up and continued to charge. If you are having charging issues, try letting it run out and "die", then plug it in. Worked for me, YMMV. I just had an issue with mine not charging.

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!

To my knowledge as long as the red light is on, the unit is being charged. But I'm confused by what you say about unplugging the unit. I just leave mine in the sun and forget it, but I'm just a customer not an expert.

Either someone doesn't know the methodology of use or they received an improperly functioning unit. I am on my third FoodSaver.......the first two were of the more economical variety and didn't last for the heavy use I put them to.......this one functions they way it was meant to........no problems! Just learn HOW to use it.....read the book for heaven's sake. I have a large garden and put up huge amounts of frozen produce, freeze large amounts of wild game and beef, chicken and fish. Wouldn't be without it.

Hello! From what I could tell, the light is red when charging. Once charged, the red light goes off.

I left mine charging overnight, just to be sure. Unbelievably, I haven't charged it again in weeks and its still going strong! I'd recharge it every few weeks or so to make sure you get a good sound. The red light is just to acknowledge that its connected and charging, if it comes on and is plugged in. It also makes a bloop sound when you press and hold the power button, to acknowledge that it is ready to be paired with your bluetooth device to play music. When you are ready to turn it off and disconnect bluetooth, you press and hold the power button for a few sec. and you will hear the sound again before it shuts off. That's how I preserve the battery. I've never heard distortion or feedback. Maybe its time to charge it if thats what you are getting.

When charging, the red light only turns off automatically (and the device stops charging) if the switch on the side is off as well. If you only turn off the top button, it'll keep trying to charge. Don't wait for an amber light indicating that the battery is fully charged... I find that to be misleading... at least it has never happened to me.

There is a charging light that stays on while the battery is charging; the 'maximum charging' light does not stay on the entire time on mine, and mine works fine. So - maybe you should have yours checked out or return it..

When I try to charge from some computers mine does the same and doesn't charge up but when I use the charger that came with my Nook it stays on and does charge up. My daughter says it deprnds on how you have you 'power saving' features set to turn off what's not in use on the computer because 'power savimg' will turn off the power to the USB port under some circumstances wheb it shouldn't. I haven't checked into that, though, and just rely on the charging adapter. If you're using the adapter and the light goes out I don't know what to tell you.

On my unit the light is red, and it starts flashing red when I place a drained battery into it for charging. Once the battery is charged it turns green and stays green until I remove the battery to use it.

OK, Lisa, the unit I purchased has worked perfectly and I haven't had any issues. I set it up for charging and it charges fine . I can't honestly say I have any complaints. Not to seem unimaginative but if beleive the unit is defective then I'd contact Amazon customer service. There are also written instructions with the unit. I hope this has been helpful.

There should be a little blue light that comes on on the bottom that let's you know that it's charging. If the light isn't coming on, but it's charging maybe it blew out? Otherwise, I'd contact the company. They're really approachable. :)

The plug that it comes with plugs in to the small connection on the outside of it and once it's plugged in you will see the lights come on indicating how far along the charge is on it. Once it's full all lights should remain on solid. No blinking That little red plug that is attached to the unit is to charge a device not to charge the unit itself. Any further questions just let me know

I purchased the same unit and I had the same difficulty. Connecting the unit to the power source, the indicator light shows power coming in. Might be an internal contact problem or a mechanical design problem, because anything connected to it was not charging. I had to press constantly the plug of the chargeable unit into the charger openings, but after a short time the contact got interrupted and I had to press again and again. Bottom line: not a good unit, I would not recommend it to anybody to purchase.
