Default How long for first charge before use? I am impatient :)

Just got it from Expansys (imate version) about an hour and a half ago.

Book says charge for 8 hours, and the LED has gone yellow from orange (meaning charged I take it)

I am dying to play, so how long does it really need to charge for?

Also, where can I buy insurance for it?

Thx guys and gals

Joe

Manual actually states that you either charge it till its max or leave it 8 hours on. Since it has turned yellow, it means it can charge no more, so go ahead and start playin away!!!

Yeah, I have this debate with my girlfriend. I reckon it's a greeny-yellow, and she feels it's green.

Definitely not the orange tho :lol:
