I don't know, I had to witch power cords, it didn't fit my iPhone 5. It works ok for my daughter

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

For the first charge, you want to charge at least 12 hrs. Wiggle the cable in the end of the Powerbot and see if it changes to green, it may be charged enough to work but won't give maximum charge to your phone.

My red light went off after 3 min. of charging. I can't tell if it's charged or not...

Getting the same issue on mine. Red light never goes off while charging (overnight), and then won't ever turn on using the power button. I've used this model of a friend's, so I know how they work. But these are simply broken, as near as I can tell.

On mind there is a red LED that glows whenever it is connected to the charger. Unfortunately, the red LED never turns off or changes color to indicate it is fully charged. Does yours behave the same way?

Then there is something wrong with it. It should only take a few hours to fully charge. I don't know any other way other than with the charger it comes with. Sorry

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.

sorry I had to return this item as, I charged it for almost ten hours and still nothing turned on. Also I never noticed a red light I believe that the one I got was ruined.

John...the light remains red all the time. My suggestion is to charge it over night for eight hours and you will be ready to use after that. The charge last for a long time but i check the stun and light a least once a week. Once the stun does not put out electricity any longer then you can recharge again. This conditions the batteries to last you a long time. I hope this is helpful to you.

I'm having the same trouble with mine......it just flashes a red battery warning symbol and won't take a charge no matter how long it's on the charger.

Hey dude... On the one I received, there is a small light on the bottom (or top) of the charger that shines red or green. It will be green until you place the battery on the charger, then red when you put the battery in, then back to green when it's done. Mine took about 1 hour or so.

There's supposed to be a light that lights red when it's charging, but mine never worked. Yo uprobably have a defective product if it isn't lighting up.

Red means it's still charging. Mine sometimes needs to be left charging overnight before it turns green. Not sure if that's the case with yours but it's worth a shot.

Hello Friend, when it is charging, a red light comes on. When it is already fully charged, the red light disappear. It takes about 3-4 hours or even more. Good luck! Anita.

Mine was not fully charged. Popped it in the charger for about 15 minutes and no worries.

I got the 2 i ordered about 5 days ago and when it charges the led light is yellow and when its down the led light completely turns off... I never seen a red led light before... You might want to search for a online manual or check your box you received it in for details

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.

On mine, a red light comes on when you plug it into computer and goes off when charged. Don't know how long for charging.
