How do you tell when the unit is fully charged and how long does it take for full charge? Is there anyway to tell what charge level is on the battery?

The light takes a couples hours to charge after heavy use. If you use it for light use shouldn't take long. The flashlight has an light indicator where the USB cable plugs that turns green when it's fully charged or red when it's charging. Overall it's the best light I've owned.

Green light indicated full charge. Red light for needs charged. Automatically dims when light gets close to dead. Great light. No regrets.

Big mike did a great job at explaining. Olights are fantastic lights. If you don't find what you want or need on Amazon. Talk with Dave at alphaexpeditions .com

LED indicator turns green under the USB port when full. I don't usually fully drain the battery but I would say two or three hours to top off. Power switch will go red when it's time to charge. Terrific light!

You will know as the flashlight has a red and green colored light at the switch button, when it is charging, light will be red, when fully charged, turns to green. does not take long at all to charge. You cannot tell what the charge level is.

For me it took about 2-3 hours. The first full charge may take a bit longer. Also depends on your charger, and the settings at which you charge your battery.

Took me about 2 days to fully charge the first time and I thought it wasn't working because there was no indicator that it was charging. But, after a while you do see that the battery level goes up.

I charge mine overnight. It doesnt register a full charge. But it seems to work for a full charge.

No battery charge indicator. Not even an indicator to let you know the charging is complete. All it has is a blinking led telling you it is charging, but it never stops blinking!

You don't really know when it's fully charged. I still don't. I just charge it whenever I can for as long as I can. I've come to realize that if it isn fully charged, it will not charge your phone. It will just hold your battery in the same place for a few minutes longer but it will still go down.

I don't know exactly, I just plug it, and leave it. whenever I remember it, I take it off the charge, and it'll be fully charged! If you put it in charge with less than %5 battery life, it'll take longer to be fully charged. I usually charge it whenever I use it, I plug it before I sleep, next morning will be fully charged!

My unit takes about 30 minutes to fully charge. If you run it all the way down and then plug it in to charge again, then it will capture an initial workable charge in a few minutes and will run briefly. So, try charging it for 30 minutes are more and you should have a full long lasting charge. Of course the harder the trimming as with thick grass means faster draining of the battery stored power. That's fine and you can then expect to charge it up a bit more often. If after charging your unit for 30 minutes to an hour and then not getting more than 3 minutes usage, there's possibly something wrong and you might try their call line for help. Hope this helps.

I have measured around 12 hours with mine. Just be advised that it takes around 2 - 3 hours to get a full charge

No battery is fully charged, unless you buy it at a store, have them charge it overnight and pick it up the next day. This battery is a good one for the money in my opinion and should last a long time, but time will tell as I have only had it five months. And No it was not fully charged and I would say it was so discharged on arrival that waiting to recharge it much longer may have already shortened its life. Buy a CTek 3300 battery charger they are the best and has made some of my batteries I have last 10 years.

It was fully charged as soon as I turned mine on. I don't know how long it takes to fully recharge after the battery has been depleted

It doesn't matter what level your battery is at when you install it, it will indicate the battery level at that point. While it's charging, it shows fully charged. This is a nice unit , and works very well with 36v systems.

My unit came charged out of the box, worked for a week and didnt even run out before I charged it overnight anyways. Aside from initial charge, which i didnt pay attention to how long it took, I have charged it from dead at night to full 7 hrs later when I woke up so definitely doesnt take 24 hrs to charge

Depending on how much time you use up while in use. I think the charge is set for 45 minutes when fully charged. If you read the instructions it will tell you to let it run down now and then to keep the battery in good shape. I sent my sister-in law one of these and she uses hers and lets it set off the charger for a few day's after a short use. So, depending how long a time you use it each time is my answer. I enjoy mine very much and have had it about a year. Good Luck, Ruth Young

There is no indicator light that tells you when it is charged. I use mine everyday at work. I try to plug it in overnight everyday. I have had three of these units in the last 11 years at work. They will last @ 5 years if using it everyday like I do.

It charges till its full then auto shuts off. Problem is after a while, it charges for 30 seconds then shuts off. Seems like batteries die easily. Hope this helps

You should have installed the Cyberpower software (connects to the UPS via cable). It will tell you the battery charge level and the number of minutes the unit with stay on.
