My new battery was already charged and I used it right away. Then when I loose a bar I charge it about 20 min. when the battery light stops flashing which indicates the battery is fully charged.

It only took a couple hours in my case. The phone should tell you when it is "charging" and when it is "charged". Jim

I usually charge all night. Sleeping anyway so don't need the phone. But it always works

Full charge - did it overnight but probably would only take a few hours....

I charged my new camera according to the instructions, 2 hours, and now a month later the battery is dead and it won't recharge. I read on another online site about lith. batt. they should be charged 12 hours, taken out of the camera, reinserted and charged for another 12 hours, and then do it again to fully charge the battery. No one else has had a problem with the battery?

I assume you have it installed in your laptop. Just plug your laptop into the wall using your A/C adaptor that came with your computer. Charges the same as your original battery and should give you 4 - 6 hours of continuous use before needing recharged.

You need a new battery pack! The battery charge should normally last for at least a week.

Generally speaking it takes no more than an hour to charge a completely depleted battery. With that in mind, it's good to have more than one battery for your camera.

Your system should be charging it automatically. If you just now installed the battery, wait 24 hours and it should be fine. You may need to reset low battery warning. See your manual for instructions. If it has been installed since February and now is showing low battery , verify the main power source is turned on.

I charge mine over night and then use till it starts to slow down then over night again. I have forgotten about them in the charger for about three days, they were hot, and over the years it seems to shorten the life of the battery. so 8 or 10 hours for full charge.

Yes you dont need to buy a new battery. Tho you need to charge this battery longer. Close to 10 hours.

You can charge it in about 2 or 3 hours. I found a trick that if you make sure it stays cool, it will charge quicker and discharge slower. Not a bad battery.

My battery came with a charge. However. I would recommend charging the battery to capacity before use. This battery doesn't have memory problems that will cause your power to decrease over time, so you don't have to charge too capacity before first use.

Yes, it comes with a battery that needs to be charged for 24 hours prior to use. It may be charged to a certain extent but the instructions clearly say charge for 24 hours prior to use.

Make sure you charge the battery for at least 18 hours using the enclosed Power Wheels® 12 volt charger before operating your vehicle for the first time. Charge the battery for at least 14 hours after each use of the vehicle. Never charge the battery longer than 30 hours.

You don't....just replace the old battery with the fresh one...it will take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours. It may seem like it is a dud, but give time and hopefully, it recharges as expected (30-days to return if you suspect it to be a real dud). My replacement took about 30 some hours to be fully charged. In the mean time, I kept getting some odd codes from on my Ademco panel. Once sufficiently charged, the codes went away. Oh, yeah, after sufficiently charged, it gave me a code that my battery in the motion sensor also needed to be replaced. My old battery and the motion sensor battery lasted more than six years.

I believe, I charged this new battery for approximately 8 hours before the first use. Now, it takes, perhaps 1-3 hours to fully charge. It's been a good battery...much better than the OEM.

New batteries are shipped with little charge. They should be charged for 4-6 hours before use

The initial charging time is 24 hours. Let it charge for 24 hours before you use it.

It didn't take that long to charge my new battery. I would think a few hours would be good. Maybe you got a new battery that was bad?? Hope this helps...
