At first I thought I'd bought something I couldn't use, because I didn't have a charger, and the instructions said charge up before use, anyway when I started to try and connect it to my phone I found that it was fully charged up, and when it connect to my phone I couldn't be more satisfied especially when I found out the charge lasts for six months, alls I have to do is buy a QI charger in about 5 months time👍
