Mine came with a charge on the battery already. It lasted a long time. It takes about 8 hours for the device to discharge and fully re-charge once plugged in.

It take few hours to charge. The light will change to green when fully charged. (the voltage reach 4.2V).

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

Maybe 2 hrs... theres a green/red light on charger that tells when its fully charged. Light is a great buy! Use it alot!

The light goes out when charged. If completely discharged, it takes around 3 hours to charge.

Hi Jordan. Ours takes 4 hours to charge if its mostly discharged. The charger has an led that shows the battery pack is charging, the brighter the led the more charged the battery is.

I think it took about 4 hours. When it's charging the light is a orange color. When it's being used the color is then green. Mine can be used for about 4 minutes when it then needs to be re-charged.

I initially charged it overnight, and it lasted for several weeks of ~1 hour long rides. However I don't ride with it always on the highest (brightest) setting - it has three brightness levels, and I usually ride with it on the lowest or middle level, only using the brightest level for short times when I really need the extra lighting.

at least 12 hours - Just put it in the headset cradle until the charging light stops blinking

I found the charging time to be about a 1.5 to 2 hours. There is a red/orange light that illuminates when you first plug it in. It will go out when it is fully charged.

Hello Friend, when it is charging, a red light comes on. When it is already fully charged, the red light disappear. It takes about 3-4 hours or even more. Good luck! Anita.

It usually takes several hours to charge. I charge it over night. You'll know it's charged up after the red led (light) shuts off.

I don't remember how long it took, but mine was not in the ON position and it still needed to be charged. It does hold a charge quite well, once charged, but I do remember thinking the light was never going to stop blinking ;-)

depends on your rate of charge. But if you charge at 5.3 probably about 45 minutes.

About 48 hours...it's not long. What I find curious is that it appears that there is some sort of port that would accommodate a charger. Yet there is no charger included with the light.

I'm not sure how long it takes to fully charge; I've left it charging for up to two days and the charging light never shut off. My guess for how long actually it takes to charge is like half a day or something, but that's pure speculation. And to answer the other question: Yes, as long as you're reasonably careful.
