    Tips and Tricks for Charging a Blendjet

    1. Don’t charge it when wet – If you’ve read the Blendjet user guide this is the number one rule! They don’t want you to charge your Blendjet if it’s wet.
    2. Charge it all the way – Blendjet recommends fully charging your blender before using it. This is optimal for the motor and long-term battery life.
    3. Watch for red lights – If your Blendjet 1 has a solid red light or if your Blendjet 2 is blinking red and purple – these could be signs that it’s time to charge your blender!
