2. Ensure the device is seated properly.
The device’s Charging/Notification LED indicates the status of the battery charging in the device. The 3,220
mAh (typical) standard battery charges from fully depleted to 90% in approximately 2.5 hours and from fully
depleted to 100% in approximately three hours. The 5,260 mAh (typical) extended battery charges from fully
depleted to 90% in approximately four hours and from fully depleted to 100% in approximately five hours.
NOTE: In many cases the 90% charge provides plenty of charge for daily use.
