Magsafe Battery Charge Pack

When I plug in my pack for charging, an amber light first comes on but quickly disappears. No other light is showing (flashing green or otherwise). Does this mean it's still charging?

From Apple’s instructions:

Before you use your MagSafe Battery Pack for the first time, fully charge it using a Lightning to USB cable with a 20W or higher power adapter.

Plug one end of a Lightning to USB cable into the Lightning connector on your MagSafe Battery Pack.
Plug the other end of the cable into a 20W or higher USB power adapter, then plug the adapter into a power outlet. The status light on your MagSafe Battery Pack will stay lit for about 8 seconds.

While your MagSafe Battery Pack is charging, the status light might flash. If it flashes green, your battery pack is fully charged. If it flashes amber, your battery pack might need more time to charge.

Yes, I read those instructions before. I have it plugged in for charging, but there is no light whatsover. Does the green light come on once it's fully charged?

I'm using the same "lightning" power cord that I use for charging my iPhone 12 Pro. I plug it then in to the outlet with the larger/faster Apple power adapter vs. the standard.

It's still plugged in and not showing any green light. How long does it take to reach full charge?

Yes, if you leave it plugged in. Are you using a 20W or higher power source? They seem to be particular about that.
