There are four bars to indicate how much of a charge it has. Charging it from a USB port took about an hour when it was completely dead. After I ran it down I turned the crank for 45 minutes before one of the four bars lit up. Unless you are willing to turn a crank for many hours on end look for something else.John Coxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-44122305404984761862018-08-10T14:24:30.657-07:002018-08-10T14:24:30.657-07:00I meant 28 watt system not 55 wattI meant 28 watt system not 55 wattMike Yukonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07615350717597229013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-70977356918114537532018-08-10T14:22:58.754-07:002018-08-10T14:22:58.754-07:00I live on Florida's hurricane coastline and ha...I live on Florida's hurricane coastline and have a Honda 2000i. Used it for years and it is great. Runs all the homes lighting and the refrigerator and chest freezer easily.<br /><br />I also have 200 watts of solar at my home and even on overcast skies, it's good for a few amps. I would recommend buying this 55-watt system and see how much power (watts) it delivers. Knowing this number you could expect the same percentage of power from a 100 or 200-watt panels thereby not risking your money.Mike Yukonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07615350717597229013noreply@blogger.com
