Does the inslole need to be removed from boot to recharge? Picture doesn't show the connector.

Yes, The connector for the recharge is in the back of the sole. Be sure to place the connector in all the way to make contact. It really is fairly easy, and I have to tell you that this has made all of the difference in how long I can stay outside and shovel snow. They do not get hot, just warm enough to be comfortable.

Yes,,, we removed the insole to be recharged but it still won't hold a charge,,, we charge it and it needs recharging in an hour,, the first pair we bought was fine,,,,,,

Yes. The plugs for the insoles are just like plugging in a lamp. You might not have to pull them all the way out, but it is easier to remember to charge them.

Yes, the connector is behind a small flap on the back edge. There is also a small switch that needs to be turned on and off there as well. There is also a car charger available also which is handy if your on a multi-day trip with no power.

you don't. install it, then plug in the power cable. don't turn on the laptop if you want to charge the battery 1st.

You need to connect its included power adapter to one of the power connectors on its included power/data cable.

I would contact Shark for the answer to that question. I unplug the charging stand until a charge is needed.

I do without any problems. The charger seems very high tech. I doubt it would hurt the battery to leave iit plugged in

My installation process took place without charging battery. Plugged the system and continued to use it. Hope this helps

When you first plug it in, the charging symbol should show up on the screen. If it doesn't, use the AC adaptor. If that doesn't work, you may have a bad battery, or a problem with the unit itself.

I used a generic adapter with male USB connector at the opposite end so that I could charge it with my computer's USB port. As what Conley said, there is a possibility of the unit burning out but with the low amperage coming out of the computer, I haven't experienced any problems so far charging the device through this method. Been recharging the unit this way for the past 6 months if there isn't enough sunlight.

Unplug the two cables that hook together under the battery / main body. One of those cables you unplug then plugs into the USB cable for charging. You can plug the USB end into a laptop or converter that plugs into the wall. However, be careful when pulling the plugs apart--the little white plugs that plug into each other fit very snuggly and take effort to get apart and if not done carefully you may pull the white plug out of the socket and off the wires! My son pulled the white part out of the USB charging cable so and bare wires hang where the white plug once was so now I can't use it to charge...

Get a good grip on the end of it and give it a yank. It's a strip between the internal back-up battery and its contact. It prevents the b/u battery from draining between when it was manufactured and when you install it.

The mine was semi_charged. To fully charge use a micro usb cable and connect to a 1000 mAh USB power supply

Yes, I just plugged ours right in. It's a little power brick like you've probably seen before, not just a plug though.

It appears that only the NiCAD battery type will discharge in this unit before charging it. I have some old NiCAD's & watched the charging status & it shows that it's discharging before it switches to charge status.

No, it doesn't, but if you open up your computer, you'll find that the connector still works, it's just come out of its housing and is thus impossible to plug in. You should be able to open the whole thing up, put the battery back in, and plug it in to charge it.

I leave mine connected to my laptop most of the time. and when I disconnect it, my laptop is always charged. just because your green light is on on your laptop does not mean you have to disconnect from the charger. its just showing that you can use it w/out the power connected

Go to ifixit.com. You'll need a couple of easy to find tools. Carefully use a pocket knife to pop off the back cover. Then I used a small wooden rod (stick) with a point created by using a pencil sharpener. This is used to carefully and slowly push the connector out of its socket. The battery is held on with double sided tape. Work it off. Go easy.
