It charges your phone pretty quick but it takes forever to re charge the ravpower

In my experience it charged a device just a bit slower then a regular wall charger. Also, with the unit fully charged, it charged up an iphone 4s from 26% to 100%, and an ipad 2 from 23% to 59% and then died. So I got one full phone charge and half a tablet charge out of it.

I had mine sitting idle for about 6 months and then checked it and it was around a 50% charge. It didn't go dead or anything. And charging it took a couple hours if i remember right. But that was several years ago.

I think the inital charge was about and hour and a half. Now it charges in about 20 mins, but I never let it run completey down.

It doesn't take long... just about as much time as your cell... It is best to turn off any device while charging for faster time. I plug my unit in at night and charge while I'm sleep... since I only use in the mornings! Very neat with great sound... more than you really need in an average crowd.

its great 4 me! Just make sure u turn it off by hand and dont leave it on standby. I did that once and it died. I've charged it a few times. I use it @ work only and my battery life was only 1 bar down after 7 hrs. All i do is listen to music i dont know if it drains faster doing other things. Hope this helps.

Somethings it will not charge or say its not when it does very very slow. It does the same with my galaxy note 10.1. Gives "X" over battery but does actually charge.. very very slow and at times nothing at all. Its like it doesn't have enough output for those? But yes, it tends to do that with the note models.

hey just got one for my birthday how long does it take for it to charge and for the battery to run down

Yes, it took a very long time to charge. It started yellow, then went to flashing red and I thought it wasn't going to work. But after several hours it charged and worked. Good luck.

It works while it's plugged in. I believe it charges - just slower - while it's being used. My unit currently is almost fully charged. Make sure you plug it in AFTER you have made a connection. Mine did not connect unless the charger cable was out. If it's plugged in when you turn it on, it will only charge.

hello if you would like to know which are good recommendations of charge for the first time, buy one because I'm doing the devoluvion since the device does not grab full charge, and I raises questions when making a new purchase

Yes! It doesn't charge as fast but you can charge and use with no problems. This was a great purchase for us.

Yes, it seems to charge pretty fast. However, like I mentioned in the review it also seemed to drain faster if I used this charger.

This charger is made by Power A Not by Sony. People have said it has a quick charge and I have seen a few post stating their controller doesnt hold a charge as long. Would like others to respond if they have noticed this also?

until you use it, i've waited 2 weeks before i use it and it was still fully charged. i use it for my phone and it charges quicker than my wall adapter. sometimes i change the phone mode to airplane mode and ti works even faster. i also use it for my kindle, but doesn't fully charge it.

I don't let my phone get below 20%. From 20-100% it charges fairly quickly. A lot quicker than some of the other chargers out there.

Usually a slow charge is better than a faster charge, less impact on the battery & life. Typically quick charges mean they die faster and can't charge through as many cycles.

i love mine. the first one i bought i had problems with the charger, but i decided to give it another chance and exchanged it. this time i am having really good luck. i use mine for playing games and reading. i absolutely love it. it works much better than the ones that were bought for my kids.
