Oooh!!! I have a battery question. Not sure if this has been addressed yet or not. Sorry if it has, but it's a quick one.
Just got my MF and I'm pretty sure it was fully charged when I got it (not really sure, my husband stole and and has claimed it as his own since it got here). I'm charging it for the first time and the LED stays on the entire time. It's an auto, not sure if Bloog even has manual batts. But I'm kind of concerned about it. I felt it and it's not hot or anything but the light stays on the entire time it's charging. I haven't fully charged it yet so I'm not even sure if it's charging or not.
I do have to admit that it's not a charger purchased from Bloog.
Is this normal?

Speak English man! LOL, so like 320mah = 3.2 hours to charge? or something?
Yes that's normal. When I use the Bloog charger, the battery light comes on and stays on until it is finished charging, then the light goes out on the battery. The charger itself goes from red to green.
When I use the V4L USB charger, the bat light comes on and stays on, and when it's done, the bat light just dims, never goes completely out.
The battery was partially charged when you got it, maybe 75% or more.
mine doesn't when I use the v4l charger. It does as you say when I use the usb/wall or wall only charger from Bloog. Weird huh?
i thought of this too when i got mine. the little part that i screw the actually battery on(and has the male usb connetion on it) has a little red light that lights up when you charge it. that little red light(which is hard to see) will turn blue on mine when its done charging.
andddddddddd why on earth is it less expensive to pick the bmf pieces by pieces, versus buying the kit?
WTG on gaining another convert 
And as for pieces vs. kits... we've pointed that out to them numerous times. I think just the Ultimate one may still be a few dollars cheaper. The only other explanation would be the nifty box it comes in. LOL
Meanwhile, those of us who can add & subtract will buy pieces

Errr, no.
Depends on the C rating of the battery and on the output current (A) of the charger.
Actually, it's even less linear that that since Lithium bat chargers are supposed to be smart and have 2 charging phases with different characteristics: one up to 80% battery charge in which they supply a constant charging current, and a different charging mode after that.
I figured as much, but I think I've mentioned before, my knowledge of electronics is limited to plumbing analogies. Once the pipes disappear into little black boxes I have no faith I will ever understand what wizardry goes on inside! And since as you pointed out before, the "smartness" is in the usb part of the charger, the A of the charger may well be irrelevant if it's being "smarted" by the circuitry in the usb part, right?
Just not the only thing that matters.
It's still important, because a 500mA charger will limit what it can supply to half of what a 1A one will, even though it's not the only factor in the game.
(500mA is lower than what a good bat can take while charging.)
I wonder if that's why, for the last bit of charging, the light on my Bloog USB charger is both red and blue (making it purple)....
yessss, I get that on the riv4l usb too. I used to think it was done charging, but the batt tip was still bright. Only when it dims do I know it's done now (it never goes out when on the riv4l usb, but does go out on the bloog one, weird huh?)

I know this is a bit late, but..........Hey!
