how long does it take to charge the battery?

A good 6-8 hours, but once it's charged it works for a good hour 1/2 to 2 hours (which is more than i can say for alot of the other RC cars)

Can't tell you. Unit received was defective and fought with them for 6 months before finally giving up. Ended up trashing the unit. They just ignored my emails for weeks and weeks. They are crooks.

About 4-4.5hrs is what the instructions said to do. There is no meter to gauge how charged it is but the instructions seem to work fine. Lasts about 20-30min.

You charge the camera, not just the battery, by attaching the USB cord to the camera at one end and the USB-AC Adapter at the other and then plugging the whole setup into the wall outlet. It can take up to 4 hours to charge. You can also charge it the same way through your computer but it can take much longer. The battery is wafer thin and tiny. Because it is so small it doesn't allow as many shots as say a DSLR battery or a larger compact camera. So I have purchased a backup battery at Amazon so I always have one with a full charge ready to shoot.

I am not sure, but I had it running for about 2.5 hours straight. Then, I did recharge it when I got home, but it did not take long to charge.

A brand new battery can take up to 3 hours to fully charge. After the battery has been charged and depleted to under 5% about ten times, the charge that is held takes about 2 - 2.5 hours to fully charge.

Takes about 4 hrs. to charge; charge last about 20 minutes; suggest you have @ least 2 batteries.

It plugs into a normal wall outlet. The initial (out-of-the-box) charge takes about 12 hours (if I recall correctly from the owner's manual). After that, it only takes 2-4 hours to charge it, typically.

When I first received mine, it took about 20 minutes to an hour to get a full charge. By the time I finally just threw it out (less than a year later) I would leave it plugged in all day and get about 30 seconds of use.

It takes about 4 hours. I let it go overnight, and it's pretty rare that I start with a completely dead battery

I normally charge it overnight so I'm not sure exactly how many hours it takes to give it a full charge. I'd guess about 4 hours, but that's just a guess.

I hard charge my battery everytime...overnight. I suspect it would take a full 8 hours. I also carry a second battery with me....never want to be caught out with a dying battery 25 miles from home.

Takes about 5 hours or so to charge. Once it changes will keep for few days at unless you use it.

I charged it over night. So I don't know how long it actually took to charge. I do know the charge is good for a few hours of use, though. Sorry i can't be more specific.

Yes, About 3 hours if it's totally dead and about 2 and a half if you want to just charge it. The battery itself lasts for about 2-3 days for me without having to plug up on full.

I don't know, there was some charge on the battery when I received it, and I plugged it in and left it, I don't think it took that long. Since then it didn't take long to top off the charge since I hadn't used it yet.

It depends on how low the battery level is. If you are charging it from 0 then it will take about 1.5-2 hours.

it takes a long time, im not really sure because i usually charge it with the adapter it came with, but if i had to guess i would say around 16 hours or longer.

I get about an hour to hour and a half on the standard battery. You can charge with an external charger. I usually do so.
