Treehouse TeacherYou are accidentally calling the method inside the method, causing an infinite loop. You should write a new method named charge
and not modify the existing isFullyCharged
, but instead use it in your new method.

Copy your code, refresh the page, and paste your code back in. Hopefully this will work for you.

57,712 PointsThe communication problem is usually caused by a slow connection making the request time out. You should not see that very often.
If you are asking about the challenge, there's a post I wrote here that covers that in some detail.
