How long does it take to charge up the Tanda when you first get it? Also, what color is the indicator light supposed to be during this initial charge?

I think it took about 4 hours. When it's charging the light is a orange color. When it's being used the color is then green. Mine can be used for about 4 minutes when it then needs to be re-charged.

It needs to be charged a full 24 hours when you first get it. If you charge it less than that the first time, the charges won't last as long. A battery can have a memory. If you charge it a short time, you will only be able to use it for short times. Be patient and charge it for 24 hours first, after that keep it in the stand and it will stay charged. In my kit there's a bright yellow taped instruction on the box that held the charging base where it says to charge it a full 24 hours before using the first time or the warranty is void.

Not long to charge that I can remember, I had bought it a while ago so you would have to ask some who bought it recently. But mine only worked for a couple months and I got rid of it. Light stopped working, wouldn't buy that brand again. Sorry I couldn't be of more help but I'm mad I spent that much money for something that didn't work long & I didn't see any change in my skin when I did have it

It is suppose to be a smart charger, that is, it is advertised that it will charge your battery and then shut off after a full charge. It also states that the indicator light will be RED for charging and then turn GREEN when done . The one I received will not change colors and according to Amazon's customer service it will not do so, even though some reviews state that it will. So is it a "smart charger" or not I don't know and apparently neither does customer service. Who wrote the reviews that said it does ?????? Your guess is as good as mine!! For 14 dollars if you need a charger it will work, but I suggest you use a time set for 8 hours since Amazon won't back it up!

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

It took approx. 1.5hr to fully charge. There is an indicator light that will turn from Red to Green when the battery is fully charged. Hope this helps!

Received mine this morning. From a wall, it took, at minimum, 3 hours. The next time I remembered to check if it was fully charged was two hours later, and the LED indicator showed it was fully charged. Other times listed here are likely from an earlier model, that also had different features. The manufacturer should clarify these specifications, since old answers and reviews are misleading current customers.

There's 3 dots that will light up when charged. All 3 dots blue, has tons of power....2 dots blue, still have lots of power. Once you get down to 1, start thinking about charging

When the green flashing light is solid it is fully charged. It takes roughly 15-20 min for a full charge from 0 - 100, at least from my experience.

Hi, not going to lie to you, this is an awesome product and when i show it off, the guys who one a different model gets jealous and the ones who don't have one, buys one. Now with the red light, I normally charge mines for 3-6 Hours and never pay attention to the light but when in use it stays well lit for hours. (varies on brightness) To be safe try 3-6 hours and see how long it will last depending on your usage. Hope this helps and enjoy!

There is no indicator. The directions advised to charge for 24 hrs, I think. We charged overnight.

When I received mine, it was charged. It usually takes a couple of hours to charge it up.

Good question, i finally charge mine for the first time last night and fell asleep after. Woke up and its still red. Would be nice if it turns green.

I believe when the led turns green. I always charge it a few extra minutes after it turns green just to be sure :)

U don't because it does not have an indicator light. So what u do is leave it around 4 to 5 hrs to make sure u have ample amount of charge.

From all the way dead about 6 to 8 hours for a full charge. When it is charging there is a red led, and when it is fully charged it turns blue. It works great!

For your first charge, I believe the mfg recommended overnite. I have had mine since last Christmas. I put it on charge when the orange lite comes on and forget about it. I am guessing that about three hours and the light is out and the charge is done. It lasts about 5 - 6 days and time to recharge.

I'm assuming you have it plugged into a USB port to charge it or pressed the power button to check charge level. Accd to user guide, 1 LED blinking = less than 10% capacity and needs charging. After a few hrs of charging one light will be on solid, middle should blink, then middle solid, 3rd blinking. When fully charged all 3 lights should be on solid (~ 6 hrs). To minimize charge time use a 1A or higher USB charger vs a computer port which only puts out max of 1/2 A.
