I tried charging mine, left if hooked all night and it hasn't worked since, can it be "overcharged"?

I charged mine only when I got it three months ago, didn't charge it after that

i have charged mine several times with no proplem. perhaps you want to check to make sure it was off when charged otherwise i know your bulb will take a hit. try turning on the side light and leave it on, even though it might not light up, it will discharge the overcharge if that is the problem good luck.

I let mine charge overnight and have had no problem. I don't know how long I can go without charging

Hey Mike, I just received mine a few days ago. I did charge it overnight, and when I woke up the next morning (and after 10 hours) the green light had gone off. Not sure why yours didn't.

Mine didn't come with a charger. I just put it by the window, and keep it charged. (it's probably overcharged, but always ready.) Today is a typical blah November day, very overcast with no sun in sight and it's charging. I've even noticed the charging light on when there's enough lamp light at night.

I had trouble with mine not charging as well. Contact the seller and exchange it.

Assuming that it is charged (not even sure that would cause it) it sound like it is defective, I tried to get mine to do that and it won't. Oh, and mine works just fine, actually pretty impressed for the price.

Hi, I am having the same problem with mine. I am sure these are defective items that are being resold. I have to shut it down, power cord in, turn it back on and then manipulate the cord just so. Sometimes it takes a few tries. When if starts to charge, I leave if alone, because it will stop even if lightly tapped. The charge doesn't last very long though. Very disappointed. I should have returned it when I got it.

You SHOULD charge it just to make sure its actually working. It could mean nothing that you received it that way.

Allow it to charge with the switch off for a few good sunny days, then try it. If that does not work I would return for a refund. I noticed that ours these not work on nights when the weather had been overcast during the day.

I had trouble with it charging at all. I emailed deerbrook support because it was past the time to return it to Amazon. I sent it back to them and they said they would repair or replace. I would see if Amazon will exchange it since you just got it.

You might try leaving it charge over night after completely emptying it. You need to train your battery from the beginning to fully charge otherwise it will only charge up to the level you trained it to.

I have forgot to check mine on charging for up to a half an hour over time limit and have yet to harm it. Just to let you know, I just checked mine and it is still charged after sitting for two months without being checked.

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.

When I first got mine, I charged it for a least 24 hours. The On/Off switch should function easy to turn the device on/off. I am not sure WHAT is the problem with yours. It very well may be a defected device......?Sorry, Wish you luck...!

I left mine on charge for several days. The light never turned green. The light on the charger went out, and now nothing works. Evidently, at these prices they do not include technology to stop the charger from over charging the battery. I will be attempting to return mine forthwith.
