When you say void it means the method can't return anything. So get rid of "int" otherwise you're saying don't return anything but return an int. Also remember the first word of your object needs to be lowercased:

public void charge() {
  barCount=MAX_BARS;
}

The instructions is asking you to only set the barCount to the maximum bars. So get rid of this line:

private int charge=0;

that should pass it.

Hey Charlie,

You are getting an error due to you adding in int in your method. You're not returning anything so it should be void.

You seems to have put both into your method.

Hope this helped.
