Not very happy with this - I have yet to get it to work. After it's charged, how long does it hold it's charge if it's sitting dormant?

Hi. It should double your phone's battery life. If your phone gets depleted after 8-12 hours of use then it is safe to assume that your total estimated battery life with the case is 16-24 hours. You can turn off the case when not in use. Just press and hold the power switch to turn the battery power on and off, and press it once to see the battery's status.

It should hold its charge twice as long as your phone dormant or not, the item may be defective

I had a really hard time with mine - it'd say it was fully charged but then would die super quick. I ended up just returning it.

I have mine sitting for a couple of weeks and it still holds a charge. Left it with 4 bars (lights) and still holds that much even after a couple of weeks.

I've charged it from the wall. I find the unit quite "funky" the lights stay red, you can't tell if charging is complete. The charge doesn't last long enough for emergency's. Just a weird little unit. I don't know if mine ever worked correctly. I've pretty much written it off as a "my bad."

Did everyone try charging the unit while it is powered off?It seems to make a different to me. I bought three(3) and so far all battery seemed to be decently averaged out around 2.5 hours or so (mainly net surfing and video conferencing) after few months of usage. Power on while charging seems like charges don't hold too well even it shows 100% charged.Try it out...it may make some different.

I think if you just place it in direct sunlight and it should begin to function after it charges. If it does not it may be defective. EDIT--- Just checked..there is an on/off button on the bottom of the base. Press to activate then place in direct sunlight.

Not that long! If it's only working when plugged in, something is wrong. It also holds a charge for quite sometime. I can't remember the last time I charged mine (though I only use it sporadically).

Honestly, I have no idea. I charged when I initially got it, used it probably all of 2 hours and put it away and never used it again.

Does it hold a charge? Mine didn't and if the battery would hold a charge then the AC won't work

Probably an hour for a full charge. I finally had to replace my battery because it would not hold a charge. Pull yours out and see if it is bulged in the middle. If so it is bad.

Make sure its fully charged. I only figures this out after testing it out and seeing very short videos of the test. I know there has been some complaints of malfunctioning, but mine works fine.

I don't remember how long it took, but mine was not in the ON position and it still needed to be charged. It does hold a charge quite well, once charged, but I do remember thinking the light was never going to stop blinking ;-)

No, I think you might have gotten a bad one. Mine has no problem charging and holding a charge for about 2 hours.

I let mine charge for several days, and it still never came on. Then I charged it for several more (with switch in off position), never worked.

No, I just charge it after I use it and let it sit until I use it again. Seems to work for me.

I've never timed it, but it seems to be only a couple of hours to go from dead to full charge. Keep in mind this device can be used while charging which will likely slow the charge down.

I've had similar problems with mine since I got it new. Barely keeps a charge and dies out after a couple of uses.

When we first got it ours did the same thing it just needed a full charge, not sure how long that would be because after it kept doing this same thing to me I basically just left it charging for two days. Though it doesn't really seem to have a long battery life to begin with. If that doesn't help I'm not sure, but it does take a long time to charge and without a full charge it goes dead very fast. Hope that helps.
