How long to charge the ZaggSparq battery itself?
1767668
I just got one and the user manual is ridiculously lacking in details. So humor me...how do i check charge status? I turned it on and all lights blinked once. I plugged it in the wall and only 1 light is blinking. How do I know when it is fully charged?

It depends on how low the battery level is. If you are charging it from 0 then it will take about 1.5-2 hours.

Charging is rather quick. Mine can charge from two lights (20%?) to full in about an hour.

I've never really timed it, but it seems to take a couple of hours to charge from fully discharged

It came partially charged. I didn't watch closely, but in a couple of hours it was certainly up to 5 lights. I'm a heavy user of my iPhone 5, so I frequently charge it directly from the ZaggSparq during the day, and most nights lately I've been daisy-chaining them at night: plug in the ZaggSparq by the bed, plug iPhone and iPad into it, and everything is 100% ready in the morning.

never timed it, but usually i charge at about 50-25% available power and seems like it takes several hours--It just leave it in charger in the AM and remove later in afternoon..Sorry not exact..

The initial charging time is 24 hours. Let it charge for 24 hours before you use it.

WE think about 30 mins form flat battery to fully charged. I will measure it next time but we are away for a week.NIck Geary

I'm not sure, sorry. I generally just plug the charger with a battery into my power strip and when I notice it has turned green unplug it. I've never timed it, but it doesn't seem to take too long. Also, it's hard to say because I have three batteries and after a photoshoot always just swap out the battery for a fresh one and charge the one I've just used, which always has more power still left in it. Sometimes it has 40% left, sometimes more or less, etc., so the time to recharge varies. I seldom run the batteries all the way down, etc. I'll say this... I've been VERY pleased with this charger.

I don't know exactly how long to charge, I usually plug it in at night and let it charge overnight. However, I would definitely buy a back-up to have ready.

Put the battery in the charger. Usually get some type of indicator light that it connected and charging. It seems like the batteries take 5 hours to fully charge.

For that, I'd probably charge it every 2-3 days. I keep an eye on the battery and charge it overnight when it's low. I haven't had any problems and finished a half marathon with it low.

So far it takes about an hour to charge and it will last for at least 3 hours!

It takes about 30 minutes to charge. It will usually stay charges for around four hours.

I haven't try yet but I think you can't, it is better not charge device wile the battery is charging, since the battery just need 7 hours to be fully charged.

I would charge it for a full 15 hours before using it. They usually come partially charged, so doing a full charge is the best way to be sure.

It can take between one and a half to two hours to charge the battery if charged when about 15% of the charge remains. I usually do not let mine completely run out but based on the time it takes for 85% of the battery to charge, I would estimate two hours and twenty minutes to two and a half hours for a full charge.

Hello. I never actually timed it, but it seems like it only takes a few hours tops. It holds the charge good as we'll hope this helps a little.

Depends on how much is left in the battery. I just let it charge overnight, I have never timed the charge, but I would assume at least 4 hours from a full discharge.

It really depends on the charger, but using the BCG34HRE4KN with the full cycle turned on usually takes 12 hours for me (this feature will completely drain the batteries before start charging).

Sometimes the GE Simon panel gets unplugged and then it will not charge the battery. It is a back up battery that should last about 12 hours.If you could have someone check the voltage at the battery and see if the electricity is getting through to it, this would be where I would start troubleshooting it. Also, you might call the alarm company to ask them to walk you through checking your connection.
