Why is My Lovense Lush 2 Not Charging?

A charged-up Lush 2 can make your night. A dead one can ruin your week. Since Lush 2 specializes in giving remote users control over the toy, it could be a crucial moment with your loved one – or anyone you let control your toy.

Your Lovense Lush 2 should normally charge up within 1.5 hours if you use the standard charger. 

When fully charged, expect up to 245 minutes of use time and an impressive 120 hours of standby time. The overall battery life varies depending on the vibration setting and the extra features you use on your Lush 2.

How to Charge Your Lush 2 Properly

  • Turn the Lovense off
  • Ensure that it is dry of any lube, liquid, or love juices
  • Plug your USB cable into a USB port or a USB wall adapter
  • Take the other side of the USB cable and firmly push it into the charging port until the charging indicator light on the Lush 2 starts to glow solid red

The charging port is a tight fit. Ensure you grip the Lovense well and push the pin straight in until the charging light turns on.

If you do it right, you shouldn’t have any issues charging your Lush 2. However, you could encounter problems, and the charging light won’t turn on if:

You Didn’t Push the Charging Cable Firmly into the Charging Port

The most common problem people face when charging their Lush 2 is aligning the USB charger well and then pushing it deep enough until it makes contact.

The charging port is a very tight fit since the toy is designed with waterproofing in mind. Making perfect contact with the charging port shouldn’t be a problem if you follow the proper plugin procedure.

Be firm but gentle. Ensure that the charging port aligns with the pin perfectly before applying firm and direct pressure to push it home.

ProTip: Wet hands or a wet toy will make everything slippery. If you run out of charge in the middle of a show, count your losses, dry the Lovense and your hands up and plug in the charger properly.

The USB Power Source is Faulty

USB ports fail – and so do wall AC to USB adapters. Before looking any further, test your power brick or USB supply on another device, for instance, your smartphone to see if it is charging.

If the power brick works, the device you plug in should detect the power. Your smartphone should start charging. If it doesn’t

  • Ensure the AC adapter brick is plugged into an active wall outlet. If the wall outlet has a switch, flick it on
  • If you are charging from a computer or another gadget with a USB port, ensure the gadget is powered on
  • Try a different power source if the current one isn’t supplying power to your testing device

The USB Cable is Damaged

If you are not getting power from the USB power supply and can’t charge even other USB devices, there is the possibility that your USB cable is damaged.

Look for visible damage, tears, and cuts anywhere on the cable. You can ascertain damage on your USB cable by using an alternative cable to see if the Lovense Lush 2 starts charging.

ProTip: The Lush 2 uses a 2.5mm by 16mm charging pin. You will have to order a specific replacement to your broken charging cable

The Charging Port is Blocked

Since the charging port is so small, it is surprisingly easy to gather dirt and gunk – especially if you don’t religiously clean your toys.

Anything, from fake cum to caked-in juices or lint from the bed, can block the charging port. Stand under light or use a torch to inspect the port looking for any accumulated gunk or solids that make it impossible to push the charger home.

Use a toothpick or a fine pair of forceps to coax out any pieces blocking the port. Be gentle and avoid bending any pins in the port or breaking them in the process.

You can avoid blockages by:

  • Cleaning your toy and drying it thoroughly after use
  • Storing the toy in a dry, well aerated but dust and lint-free place
  • Sticking to appropriate water-based lubricants and avoid hard to clean solutions like homemade cum
  • Only use your Lush 2 in the vagina. Anal use increases the possibility of blockages

Your Lovense Lush 2 is Damaged (Very Rare)

While the Lovense Lush 2 is a resilient toy, it can break down if you misuse it. Apart from failing to clean it often and storing it in dirty places, you could also damage the battery, the charging system, or the charging port if you:

  • Use your Lush 2 anally: This increases the possibility of blockages, especially if you don’t prepare well for the anal experience
  • Do not boil the toy or immerse it in hot water in the name of sanitization. This will ruin the battery or even make it explode
  • Storing the toy in extremely hot places (like the glove compartment of an unattended car in summer) or very cold places
  • Failure to charge the battery at least once every six months

Can I Charge and Use My Lovense Lush 2?

No. Do not try charging your Lovense Lush 2 when still using it. The device isn’t designed to do this hence trying to make it work could damage the unit.

It is also quite awkward and uncomfortable to try charging the Lovense Lush while using it. After all, planning yourself and keeping your toy charged up with such long battery life shouldn’t be that hard.

Why is My Lush 2 Charging So Slowly?

Your Lush 2 will charge slowly if the USB power supply isn’t delivering enough amperage to charge the unit fast. The average amperage most USB devices and smartphones need to charge at a decent pace is 1Amp. You will notice lower charging times if you charge your Lovense with a low-powered supply.
