I am just charging mine, will wait and see.. Book says 3-4 hours depending on usb output.
By the way robsquad I got a new anti-interference board which has restored 12v to gimbal connections.

went green after 4+ hours from an iMac - maybe it does depend on the usb output ??

If it's been charged for 24 hrs when new, can take 3/4 hrs on 240volt. If it's still not green, it's um....broken.

Try another USB connection as they do vary on output current.

Try the usb pug into a PC or Mac USB port. I have used both a laptop and iMac

Charging from a devices USB is the worse way to charge something. Such low output. If there are problems, use a _quality_ wall charger and a _quality_ cord. Leave it charging over night.

Not all chargers and not all cables are good. I've had cheap cables be bad upon delivery and I've bought more expensive cables that allow a much faster charge.
