**Connect to a Power Source:**

* Plug your Smart Base into a power source using the provided charging cable. Ensure the connection is secure and the power source is functioning correctly.

**LED Indicators:**

* The LED on the Base will flash Green while it is charging.
* The LED will turn solid Green once the Base is fully charged.

**Important Note:**

* The LED will rotate through all statuses that are happening. Thus if it's on and connected to WiFi it will show Blue then Green indicating charging.

**Battery Life:**

* When fully charged, your Base can remain active for over 15 hours.

**Tips:**

* [Clean your Stick](/product-support/the-meatstick-faq/maintenance.md) before placing it on the charger to ensure proper charging.
