Mine works well so far, but didn't come with instructions. How long do the batteries take to charge? Thanks!

Adapter supplies 250ma. so 700MAH batteries should take about 3 hours to charge, after the initial charge of about 5hrs.

Did you charge the battery for the length of time indicated in the instruction manual prior to use? The first time or two I used mine the battery ran down pretty fast. After recharging it, the battery definitely held a charge longer than it did initially. If it continues to not maintain the charge as long as you think it should, I would contact the manufacturer or return it.

I charged the battery for about 14 hrs. and the battery only lasted for about 3 hrs. and it was dead. So after three more attempts to charge it and getting the same result, I gave up. I hope this answers you question.

I just got two of these batteries about how long does it take to charge them. Also do you use a standalone chargers.

As per the instructions you charge it for 12 hours then totally drain the battery 10 to 12 times. Not do it once. It has to do with battery memory. Also use a full 110 wall charger for charging and not a weak USB port to charge.

When you start to charge it a small red LED on it starts to blink. When it is fully charged it stops blinking. I haven't had mine long enough to answer your "how many hours" question. If the answer is not in other questions on this page, there is a similar device on Amazon selling for about $11. Somewhere on either that device or this one, someone said how long their's lasted on one charge. The time on the $11 device is probably the same as this one.

That doesn't sound right. Do you have a way to check the battery charge? Are you sure it is at full charge when you take them out? I think one of my friend's had this issue too, each time they charged their batteries, it would charge way fast, but the batteries were never fully charged.

Hello,It takes about 30-45 minutes to charge. A problem I and a couple of people have had is the charger finishing before the standard battery is fully charged. This light appears to be only good for a short trip about 45 minutes on low. Another problem is the mount. You can look at my review under KRB on how I made a mount.

Hi the little charger that came with it... But it takes unusually long to charge... And if it doesn't charge it may need another battery... But it took a long time to charge

This is "normal" but not necessarily "good." When you plug it in it charges for 10 hours and then shuts off. Period. If you put in fully charged batteries it will still charge them for 10 hours. If you plug it in and then add a battery 8 hours later, that battery will only charge for 2 hours before it shuts off. And as you have experienced, if you add a battery to it after 10 hours it will not do anything because it is already "done" charging, even if you plugged it in when there were no batteries in it at all.

I think I had the same issue. We used all the charge (drained) then let it fully charge. I believe the first time took approximately 12-16 hours. It does not charge quickly.

Hope it works out for you. I had some battery issues in the beginning. After manually charging the unit, it seems to maintain a 3.85V charge or better. Time will tell if this makes a difference. And for $250, you'd think they would include a twenty-five cent mini-USB cable to charge it up.

For mine approximate charge time is abt 5 to 6 hours. So I usually make sure batteries stay full by always charging over night if needed.

Mine is working extremely well. I've never timed it, but I have a 1/2 acre and a lot of leaves. I can clean up all my leaves and not run out of time. The next time I'll get half way through and let it die and then charge it. I haven't watched how long it takes to charge either, I tend to put it in the charger and leave it all night. You can find that information on the Battery Purchasing site, I think it said 4 hours.

Mine worked great. I did charge it when I first got it, but it also worked right away.

Hi. It takes a long time for the battery to charge. It seems like it's an overnight thing. I thought it was only for the first charge, but it's every time you charge it. Other than that, I like the product very much.
