New, fresh out of the box. Am charging via the USB cable that came with it and the transformer plug in from my iPhone.

How long should it take to be fully charged?

thanks

Dang. Thanks dude. I tried like crazy to find an online manual. The manual in the box is about the size of a matchbook with microscopic print.

The manual 4MUL8R posted shows up to 28 hours. It depends on the charge rate, and there's the possibility that the iPhone brick doesn't play nice with the NOCO hardware, so it's hard to say what your actual charge rate is.




"The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people."
"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford, "it is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards."
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in."

Thanks. I was confused w/the layout of the manuals charging schedule. However, it says,
"The USB IN port is rated at 2.1 Amps."

And under the "2A" column it says charging time is 7 hours. The .5 column says 28 hours, but I'm using a "2A" device.

However, the manual also says the three indicator lights should be pulsing during charging, and they are not. So maybe like you say my noco unit doesn't like my iPhone transformer.

The lights are on and even the flashlight works with the iPhone plug, so I'd think the thing would charge. Even the (very convoluted) youtube video says use a phone charger.

Oh well, off to Amazon for a noco plug. For $200 you'd think those cheap noco bastiges would include a plug.

I have always recharged mine off of a 12 volt battery pack. It doesn't take long.

The 5V Amazon plug arrived about 40 minutes ago. I plugged it in and the first light was solid and the second light was pulsing. (The book says you can tell when it's charging because the lights pulse slowly.)

After ~20 minutes the second light was solid and the third light is pulsing.

Much better. Beats 28 hours all to pieces.
