When & how do you charge the battery?

After you do the initial breakin procedure, you're technically supposed to use it until it's fully drained then charge it. I like to get my cake and eat it too, so my opinion is that it sucks to do that, so I charge it whenever I want to so that I can guarantee I have a full battery to start with when I need it. I've been doing that for the last 2 years and the battery life is probably still about 80-90% of what it was when I first got it. I think it's well worth it. It's cheap, so when I feel like it's no longer able to hold a capacity that I'm happy with, scrape it and buy a new one.

I would typically plug it in when the battery died. I would just plug the charger directly to the phone or to my rapid-charge car charger - while still in the phone. One thing I should point out though. About one month after the warranty expired, the battery bloated up. I had to replace it with a zero lemon battery. I've had the new battery about 3 months and so far it is working flawless.

There is a cut out in the bottom of the case that allows you to insert the charging cable into the phone. so yes it will allow you to charge the phone with the case on it

Just plug the battery in again and charge it. I believe the directions for storage over the winter say to charge the battery sometimes. I failed to do that, but once the battery was charged, it started right up. Also wet grass slows it down, or clogged grass. I got the small one and just love it.

You can charge the battery via USB 2.0 cables. You do not have to take the battery out, it can be charged while inside the device. A blue and orange flashing light will indicate that the battery is charging.

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.

I usually plug it in overnight. I think it takes a few hours to charge. It depends on how low the battery is when you charge it.

Run the battery till the light comes on for you to charge it. Then you should be able to charge it up to 100%

The battery is in the unit. You just plug the separate cord into the unit and plug into a receptacle and it charges!

No need to charge the battery first if you have it plugged in. There is a form without the battery, in fact.

First drain the battery completely and then hook it up to the charger, or charging cable for 3 hours. (After the first charge you only need to charge it for up to 1 hour and 30 minutes 1 hour at least though)

It's ready to charge out of the box. Just place the battery in the charger according to the instructions and plug the charger into an outlet.

Plug in the charger, plug the battery into the charger. When the light is solid green it's charged. It does take quite a while to charge.

Essentially, you plug it into a wall, with the switch on the back in the "off" position. Takes about 12hrs to fully charge. Each LED indicates 20℅, so all 5 lit up indicate 100℅ charged. You can plug it into the wall with a USB connected to 2 devices and charge the battery along with 2 devices simultaneously. I usually get about 2-3 full phone charges from 0%. To charge, flip the switch on the back to "on" and plug a USB into it and the device you want to charge. It does charge at 2.1a so it charges about twice as fast as a typical USB wall charger.

I charge it via my computer or eletricity. I do not know about battery, I think there is no battery attached to it. You are supposed to charge using your computer (USB port) or plugging in the eletrical socket.

It comes with its own battery, a small rechargeable one similar to a cell phone battery. You charge the battery using the supplied cable. The cable can plug into a USB port or an AC outlet.
