Finally got this thing to charge but even after being plugged in all night it doesn't charge completely. Anybody get it to charge fully?

It takes awhile with the regular cord, I bought a stronger wall plug, I believe it was a 10W. Usb with the regular wall plugs don't give as much power.

It will take a longer time to fully charge the Belkin Grip Power Battery Case, since you are both charging the phone and the battery case.

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.

not sure. I think I used it a little bit and then charged it fully. I use it till it gets low and then charge over night. In other words, don't put on a charge every night. I like so far.....hope that helps.

I have the same issue. Not sure what is going on. Tried full charge with no load. Only time I would have 100 percent is when the charger is hooked up.

As others have said I didn't have a problem. However I did charge it over night. The battery life is rather short.

Unplug charger, then plug it back in and try to charge it now....don't know why, but that seems to work for me....certainly no the way it should be.

I think it has to do with the mAh output. It does the same to me. If I plug it in at night it will be at 100% by the morning. But if its going dead and I'm on it, instead of charging when I plug it up like it would with the original samsung cord, it will die! So like I said it has a lot to do it the output of the charge. Hope I could help.

I had the same problem, and returned mine. It started off barely charging and then would not even power on anymore. There is obviously a defect.

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.

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!

Unfortunately, I have the same problem and no amount of charging is fixing it. It almost feels like there is actually no battery inside, or it used up its number of possible recharges. Returning it to Amazon. Will try one more time to order this thing.

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

Sounds to me like you may have a faulty one. Mine charged up just fine, and I am still doing well with it. I would contact the company. Sorry I could not be of more help.

I let mine charge for several days, and it still never came on. Then I charged it for several more (with switch in off position), never worked.

I charge it over night but it shouldn't take more than about four hours. That's my estimate of the maximum of time it should take. I beleive that's how long mine takes
