I think i'm close to getting this answer, could somebody explain where i'm going wrong?

GoKart.java 
class GoKart {
  public static final int MAX_BARS = 8;
  private String color;
  private int barCount;

  public GoKart(String name){
    this.characterName = name;
    barCount = 0;
  }

  public GoKart(String color) {
    this.color = color;
  }

  public boolean isBatteryEmpty(){
    return barCount == 0;
  }
  public boolean isFullyCharged(){
  return MAX_BARS == <1 to 8;
  }
  public String getColor() {
    return color;
  }

  public void charge() {
    barCount = MAX_BARS;
  }
}

class GoKart {
  public static final int MAX_BARS = 8;
  private String color;
  private int barCount;


  public GoKart(String color) {
    this.color = color;
  }

  public String getColor() {
    return color;
  }

  public void charge() {
    barCount = MAX_BARS;
  }

  public boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
    return barCount == 0 ; 
  }
   public boolean isFullyCharged() {
    return barCount == MAX_BARS ; 
  }

}

This is my code and it's working.

I don't understand what you did here :

 public boolean isFullyCharged(){
  return MAX_BARS == <1 to 8;
  }

thank you, though you had to account for any number between 1 and 8
