How do i know when it is fully charged?

I did not notice any indication however, I charge it usually about 2 1/2 hours and I can use it to charge my cell phone at least 2 times, before having to recharge it again. The red light only indicated when you are charging your phone off of it. I have used it several times when the power in the house went off due to storms and when I was out and forgot to charge my phone before leaving home. I found it very useful to have.

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.

when the charger light comes on or leave it in over night like I do. or charge for a hour and put in camera and see if it a full charge.

The information I received stated that you can do just that. The battery is a lithium ion and when the charger has completely charged it a light indicates it is full and in standby. I have been using mine for months and love it. Hope this helps and remember amazon has free return policy if you're not happy.

As far as I know, it must be turned on the charge/show that it is charging.

I don't have a definitive answer for that, but I have charged mine many times, and it seems to stop when the charge is complete.

Take it out of the charger and put it back in. It's just the indicator light on the charger. If you put it in the phone it should show up as fully charged. I charge my OEM battery in the wall charger all the time without any trouble.

It appeared fully charged but I charged it overnight to be sure to condition it.

I just use the indicator on the camera, which will show full charge until the Smartree drains and the camera kicks over it it's main battery. They you know the Smartree is empty.

A few hours. A red light should come on when you plug it in to indicate it's charging and will go off when it's fully charged.

I usually charge mine over night after the red light comes on. It does flash continually while it is charging. However, after 8 hrs. of charging, it usually still flashes. To know if it is fully charged or not, just look at the number of green lights that are lit on the handle. If the top one (100) is lighted, it is 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.

I haven't used my new Charger long enough to answer correctly, but it has a box at the bottom that tells you when the battery is full charged, it may turn green, but I cant verify that yet. sorry.

It will not tell you when it is fully charged. I recommend not buying this. It is a low price, but mine lost its voltage after about 30seconds total of use over a month. Now it's just a flashlight with a safety.

It does not need to be in the "off" position to charge. I don't recall if there is any "charging complete" indicator.
