Just got a WCW backpack but the instructions are a bit poo, does anyone know the charging time, and does it automaticly stop charging when the battery is full?

remember the ice weather can ruin your pump, the water will expand and knacker it, ive just bought one off ebay   pump gone i only tried it once,    he must have known it was gone when he sold it,    he would have been better getting a battery off ebay £25  wcw   £35 its just conecting it back on to replace     flimsy terminal conections

lee your pack is charged if its green , it will do no damage to leave that one on charge.

i quite often leave mine on all weekend .

I just put mine on charge until the light changes from red to green (could be other way round!)  then just check if the volt meter is reading ok.

The battery lasts for weeks in mine but i rarely use it!

Yes, its red to green. What do you mean "check if the volt meter is reading ok" I noticed that small meter on the backpack but was unsure on what it meant!

They come with intellegent charger,so when the wee light changes from red to green it means it is fully charged,battery will last at least two days with continuous use

Turn the backpack on and up too full speed, if its in the green bit you should have plenty of charge.
