There is little red light.. but it's hidden.
Plug it in when it's dark and you can see it through the power button just..
Watch out the micro usb sockets not the strongest...prob due to me wiggling it to see if was charging lol...

Slightly off topic but I have the Trakker power tap . . . seemed a daft pressie request at the time but they're a godsend! Way better than the manual tap on my spankmonkey water carrier

I had one as a gift when they came out and I agree they are great. Obviously not an essential item, but I love mine and use it a lot.
The charging light is just about visible if its dark when its charging. But it is tricky to see when the trakker one is charging.

NGT looks to be from exactly the same factory as the Trakker one albeit cheaper obvs

Are these tap things just so you don't have to pour your water out yourself?

Lol - I can sense the cynicism but don't knock it till you've tried it!
A full 5l water bottle is an arse to use when full especially if your only boiling a single cuppas worth at a time . . . if you drink the amount of tea I do it makes the process effortless and simple - and for the ease of tap attachment / actual faff involved it makes longer sessions more comfortable . . .
Bit like a power barrow - you don't need one at all but when you get one you'll never go back to pushing again!

You're not wrong. However a 5lt container is not going to last you long if doing a week in summer. I use the 15lt ridgemonkey ones ( x 2) only thing I would change is to have the mk2 version, as it's a p.i.t.a. to keep opening the top opening to let air in during use. Where I fish there is no drinking water on site.

I only use it to wash my hands and do my dishes and I waste a lot less water with it,

If it works for you then fair play. But it does just seem like the age old carp tackle company policy of inventing problems to fix

Its not really a carping bit of kit tho - its a camping bit of kit, so for 48hr+ sessions it just makes life easier / more comfortable . . . . if it makes you feel better I still use a bucket and pipe lagging to sh*t in . . .tried the wolf portaloo thing and its no better / more agg. These taps are actually useful; if you're too ashamed to buy one (as I was) put it on your xmas pressie list and give it a go . .

I have one of these ngt taps, makes life a lot easier on my 10L carrier for long sessions, well, at least it did - the bugger won't charge up now!
Anybody else had this problem?
