The battery that I installed in my phone was fully charged in about 4 hours. If the battery that you recieved won't charge you might have got a defective one. I would try cleaning the contacts on the battery and your phone and then try to charge it again. If that dosen't work then you will have to return it for replacement. I hope that answers your questions.

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...

I myself only had to charge my battery abt an hour to fully charge it. You might have received a bad battery. But try the 24 hour charge before returning it.

I haven't use that phone for over a year it is hard to remember but I believe 24 hours would be the trick

To tell the truth, I am not sure, I only plugged the phone into the charger at bed time and when I got up in morning, I reached over and unplugged the charger and walked away without really looking at the phone. I never did have a problem with that type of Battery for that phone and have recently switched to newer style phones, but I keep this phone and battery for an emergency backup.

the battery could be bad or you might have a short in your charging cord but more than likely its a bad batterty

I see this as 2 questions : 1) how many times can you charge before having to recharge the remote charger - well that is purely a matter of from which state you charge from - I myself has charged more than 10 times before charging the remote charger again, however if the phone is totally down each time you charge it's another matter - then maybe two to three times before charging the remote charger again. 2) When is the battery totally dead and you have to buy a new charger - this is a matter of where you contain the charger on a daily basis (a cool place is better than directly in the sun) and again a matter of from which state you charge from, so it is in fact impossible to say,however, I have had my own for a year now, and it is still functioning. When this is said, then it is not necessary to buy a new charger if you use one with a replaceable battery as for example our stainless steel charger, which also have a larger capacity than the one in question - try to look after ASIN B00I01P196 in the amazon store.

Did everyone try charging the unit while it is powered off? It seems to make a different to me. I bought three(3) and so far all battery seemed to be decently averaged out around 2.5 hours or so (mainly net surfing and video conferencing) after few months of usage. Power on while charging seems like charges don't hold too well even it shows 100% charged. Try it out...it may make some different.

Hi.I'm not sure how long it take from fully discharge, but usually when it has low charge it takes less then 2 hours. Witchout charging you can use for more or less 4 days.BRJanek

My unit takes about 30 minutes to fully charge. If you run it all the way down and then plug it in to charge again, then it will capture an initial workable charge in a few minutes and will run briefly. So, try charging it for 30 minutes are more and you should have a full long lasting charge. Of course the harder the trimming as with thick grass means faster draining of the battery stored power. That's fine and you can then expect to charge it up a bit more often. If after charging your unit for 30 minutes to an hour and then not getting more than 3 minutes usage, there's possibly something wrong and you might try their call line for help. Hope this helps.

My plan was to let it charge for 24 hours, but it seemed to work right away. I ended up forgetting about my plan and using it even before it had charged for 24 hours, and it worked fine. I have had this for a few months now with no problems. I have even had the phone with me for several hours while being on call for work, and it has stayed charged.

Very good. The longest I've had it uncharged was about over 10hrs talking and it was at 20% by then. But I did buy a refurbished phone with a new battery and I used low light settings to conserve energy. So take that into account as well....

A good question, Ann. The manual only says that after the first time you charge it, it will need shorter charging times. The first time I charged mine, I just left it plugged it for several hours, checked and the green light indicated a full charge. The SECOND time I recharged, however, the light went green after about 2 hours, so I attached it to the trimmer for use, and the LED indicator said it was still one level short of a full charge. So why did the green light come on? If you could just leave it charging overnight, you could be sure it's fully charged, but it has a warning light (orange) for when the battery is too hot and should be removed from the charger. So I recommend charging during the day and checking it periodically to see when it's green.

Not sure how much time you'd be spending actively using it vs just having it ready to be used, but I am charging it every other day. I do find that it seems to take longer than other devices to re charge fully. And the cord is oddly short! I received a pop up Msg that encouraged me to close unused apps to preserve battery life. By long pressing the center button open apps appear and they swipe away to close.

I got a similar unit recently and when I plugged it in, it too showed 100% charged. However, I unplugged the charger and checked the battery voltage which instantly dropped to under 6V. So that told me that the battery wasn't accepting a charge and the "100%" reading was coming from the charger just while plugged in. So I left it plugged in and after an hour it did start accepting a charge and the reading dropped to 60% or such. So it does take at least 12 hours, after that if it starts displaying 100% it probably is charged.

If your battery is completely dead,charge it 6 hours.I found this to be adaquate.Problem is at full charge battery will only last 20-30 minutes.

I tested mine yesterday, It was a 1 bar and it took 3 hours to come to full charge. Hope this help you with a guideline.

I have never charged phone from 0-full. I have charged it about a 1/4 power just to see how well it works. It takes about 12 minutes. I crank it slowly and the lighting bolt comes up immediately. it seems important to try to crank it slowly and consistent just like when you have plugged into the wall.

Hello. I never actually timed it, but it seems like it only takes a few hours tops. It holds the charge good as we'll hope this helps a little.
