7,605 PointsOne issue I see is that the variable barCount may not be initialized when the method isFullyCharged runs, i.e. you forget to call charge() before you call isFullyCharged(). In that case, since the conditional is false, there is no return on a false bool value.
Instead of doing an if-then statement and returning a true or false based on that condition, just return the equality test to begin with, like:
public boolean isFullyCharged() {
return barCount == MAX_BARS;
}

11,246 PointsYou have an extra closing curly bracket at the end. Remove one and it should work, I think.
