how do you know when the battery is fully charged?
1854366
When you first connect the battery the light turns red to show its connected properly. Then when you plug into the wall it flashes blue. When it is done charging it turns solid blue. It takes a long time, but worth it if you charge them ahead of time and take the batteries with you. I charge them overnight. Hope that helps.

There are there 3 led lights on the side of the unit that show the battery level. They will all be lit up when fully charged.

No, there is no indicator. At full power it lasts about 1 and a half hours, maybe a little less so best to charge it daily/every second day

Dear carbon, when the led light is stopped blinking, it show it has been charged fully. Thank you.

It shows that the power is successfully connected. It goes out but never lets you know when fully charged. Sorry, I just let it go for a few hours.

I normally charge my battery the night before we golf, and unplug the battery as I'm leaving for the course. However, I believe the blue light (shows battery is fully charged) appears before the next morning. I did this with the new battery so I didn't take notes on how long it actually took to charge.

I got a similar unit and when I first plugged it in, it too showed "fully charged". I then unplugged it and checked the battery level, but it instantly showed 0V. So that told me the "full charge" reading was false and the charger was giving me that reading while the battery seemed like an "open circuit" and was not accepting power yet. So I did leave it plugged in and within 1/2 hour it began dropping the reading to show 65% charged or such which I knew was more realistic. So despite getting that "full charge" reading off the bat, it does need the charge time. I got a similar unit and when I first plugged it in, it too showed "fully charged".

When you charge it, it will go by percentage rate of charge and when it hits 100 percent it will show it. It will look like a battery when fully charged with the percentage signs in there. You might have to play with the prongs to get it start charging. When you slide the battery in make sure one is on the plus and minus areas on the battery contact points.

Yes! It will tell you it's fully charge when the battery is 100%. It will also tell you to unplug the device.

On the bottom of the battery there are some gold/brass squares. Line those up with the similar squares on the inside of the charging slot. If inserted correctly, there will be a red light, indicating that the battery is charging.

The charger has an indicator that tells you when it's fully charged or partially charged

There are values 25, 50, 75, and 100 next to a button on the top face. When you press the button the values light up from 25 to 100 then stay lit for the percentage at which it is charged. So, you know that it is fully charged when all four values stay lit. (also for example it would be at least 75% charged if all but the value 100 stay lit)

When the battery is in the charger make sure the plus and minus line up, when it is plugged into an outlet the led will light up and indicate what percentage the charge is. Let it charge until the 100% is lit.

battery arrives ready to use. It has never been fully discharged in my case and no charge indicator on my system, so no way to know full rechagre time.

Yes, on the battery itself. You just press the button and one to three green lights indicate the charge. I always charge it after use as they recommend, so it is charged up for the next time.

Put the battery into the laptop and make sure the power is on. The battery will charge (you should see some indication of this via notification lights on your laptop or, if the computer is turned on, on the desktop screen.) This will indicate that the battery is charging. Once fully charged, you can move to the discharge step. To discharge the battery, turn the AC power (not the computer) off. The computer should continue to run (using the battery only) and you should be able to continue running programs. The on screen battery indicator will show you that the battery is losing it's charge. A full discharge could take 2 - 4 hours or more, depending on how the power use is configured on your system. Once you are nearing the depletion of the battery charge, Windows will put a warning on your screen to turn power back on. If you don't do this, Windows will save the work you are doing and shut down the machine. After a complete discharge, you have to turn the AC power back on for your machine to operate. The computer will be operational and the battery will begin to be recharged at that point.

Yes, you push a button and it tells how much charge is left on the battery.
