New Nokta Legend - is the spare battery supposed to be done charging eventually?

I plugged the thing in like 5 hours ago, still blinking green and red. Is this normal?

Yeah it takes a bit, I just leave mine charge overnight and its good to go.

For the fastest charge, make sure you're using a 5V (minimum 2 Amp) charger.

It's a fairly large battery, so charging from empty to full will take a few hours. When the light goes solid green, it's fully charged.

As Dig said, not all wall chargers are created equal. Beefier, higher quality chargers are well worth the investment when it comes to charging large batteries in a reasonable amount of time. I have a pair of 26,800 mAh power bricks that I use as backup power sources for my electronics while I’m working - using a random wall wort charger out of the kitchen drawer, each brick takes as much as 24 hours or more to charge from near zero. Using a quality Anker USB-C 60w, 5v, 3amp, Power Delivery wall charger, each brick charges within a few hours. The difference is truly astounding.

Unfortunately, the Legend is limited to USB-A options, but a quality charger can still put a much quicker charge on the Legend’s 5500 mAh spare battery. I highly recommend virtually anything made by Anker. They can be a little bit more expensive, but extremely high quality products, and well worth the investment. As an example:

Anker Elite 24W wall charger, $10

I moved it to a different charger and it went immediately green.
