I just leave it with it with the solar cells up when I am not using it and it has never sun out of charge. I love mine!!

I am currently trying to get it replaced because it stopped charging. Would recommend not getting the solar powered.

The very first day I got it, I left it facing my patio door the whole day. Never charged since. Though I use this mostly duringmyevening browsing, it never powered off .

It was charged when it arrived. In fact, I have never put any effort into charging it. I just leave it with the solar panel facing up whenever I close it, and it has always been ready to use. It uses either the natural light or the light from a lamp to charge. I am very happy with this keyboard!

I let mine charge for about three hours the first time I used it and it lasted for well over an hour. After that I usually leave in on my desk solar cells up for two or maybe three hours per day between meetings etc, and it rarely runs out of charge. Personally it has totally changed the way I use my iPad, now I use it for much more content creation not just consumption, and I take my laptop far fewer places.

There should be a white cable in the bottom of the box that the keyboard came in. You will need to hook us the keyboard to your computer USB (not sure if a wall charger USB works, I never tried it) and it should take maybe 3 hours to charge it fully. If you need anymore details I would totally recommend- that you e-mail GSA. They are very quick with responding! Good luck!

I've had mine for just a month, and the red charging light turns off after about 2 minutes. But that doesn't seem to matter much because the keyboard has never stopped working. So maybe the red light isn't supposed to stay all the time while it's charging???

The tablet and keyboard have separate batteries, I can charge the tablet without the keyboard, but when they are connected this keyboard does not drain the tablet battery and both are charged by the same cord. I can get 5-6 hours of use and sometimes more.

I'm not sure, but I turn off keyboard when I am not using the keyboard. I charged it up overnight when I first got it. I have had for now 2 weeks and it still has a charge. I have not recharged the keyboard yet. I hope this helps

You can use any micro usb cord to charge the keyboard. Here's one on amazon that's 10' long:

No that is not normal. I have had my Targus Versavu for almost a year and have absolutely no problems with mine. In fact, I have been amazed how long the battery life is on the keyboard but my IPad has to been recharged about every 24-48 hours depending on its use. I try to remember to turn off my keyboard when not in use.I hope this helps.

I'm sorry that I don't know much about it. I had to return it, as it wasn't compatible with my iPad4, only works on iPads up to that version. It is a keyboard, that you charge. No batteries needed, and I understand that it holds a charge for quite awhile. It was a nice quality keyboard.

You might try some electronics equipment section in a store like Best Buy. I believe the one I bought to keep in my overnight bag is longer by maybe a foot than the one that came with the keyboard. Don't expect to find one much longer; the idea of charging the keyboard is to do it some surface like a counter top.

A USB to micro USB cable is included. You can plug it into the USB port on your computer or a 5 volt plug power converter that used for an iPhone or into a power strip that has a USB connector for charging. I use it every day all day long and must charge the keyboard about every 3 weeks. It takes about 3 hours to fully charge from zero charge.

It really depends on how often you use it. I use the iPad+keyboard for work almost daily and I must have to charge the keyboard every month or so. When I haven't used it as much, it's been times when I've had to charge it at the 2 month mark.

I go a month on a charge. I use the keyboard every day and leave in "On" continuously, whether I'm using my iPad or not. I'm very pleased with the keyboard's battery life. I previously had a keyboard that used 4 AA batteries. I was forever running out of power, and at inopportune times like during a meeting or at a conference. I don't even think about the battery with this keybord.

Don't know, don't have one. I use it to charge Logitech keyboard. Connection does not appear to be iPad anything compatible.

I have not run the battery down before recharging. I will plug it in about every 2 weeks just to keep it charged and I use the keyboard often. I have been impressed with how long the battery does last and have never had a problem with this device.

Had mine for about 3 months, charged it about half-dozen times. System Preference has an icon when you load up the Logitech Software that will indicate how low the battery is. IIRC that software will also tell you, if you forget, to recharge it. I simply plug mine into the USB port on the keyboard, and continue to use but a couple hours later it's all good. I got mine at half the price of Apple's and most pleased. Took the Magic Pad back.

Depends on the power source, from an ipad charger about 2-3 hours but from a pc or iphone charger about 4-6

You have to charge the keyboard. Plug it into the charger that comes with your tablet. Takes about an hour.
