Are there any indications as to when the batteries are fully charged? If they are discharged, how long does it take to charge the batteries?

The only truly to know that the batteries are fully charged is when the LED on the charger is green. It takes about 3 hrs. to fully recharge.

Thanks for your inquiry. All batteries are only charged with 50%-70% capacity when we shipped it out in order to avoid any dangerous occurrence happen. Usually, please don't use it up when you first install it and please kindly try to charge it around 12 hours at the first time, and then discharge it. Please do this cycle for 3-5 times continuously. This will help to activate the battery.

I charge them all the time. I'm sure it may take longer than lower output batteries but I have not measured the difference.

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.

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 charged the batteries on receiving them, took about two hours. The light went from red to blinking red/green to steady green at full charge.

I don't remember if it had any charge when I got it, but I always fully charge the batteries so they are ready for use. I don't want them to die on me when I need them.

When I charge them the green light flashes - I know it's fully charged when the green light is steadily on. It takes maybe 20 minutes.

I don't know if there is a prescribed time for recharging; I don't remember any info on that with the batteries. I keep my batteries on the charger until I need to use them again, which is about once a week; sometimes longer. I've had my batteries for several years and they still work great.

I haven't "timed" my batteries for actual charge time, however, if the OEM battery is still charging after being on the charger overnight, it may have been run down flat - that it was drained down so far, that it needed that much charge to come back to life. Of course, if the battery has been declining in capacity, it's entirely possible that it is "done"...they do die. I try to keep some charge in all my batteries all the time, and never let them go flat (zero charge).

It can take between one and a half to two hours to charge the battery if charged when about 15% of the charge remains. I usually do not let mine completely run out but based on the time it takes for 85% of the battery to charge, I would estimate two hours and twenty minutes to two and a half hours for a full charge.

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

Depends on how much is left in the battery. I just let it charge overnight, I have never timed the charge, but I would assume at least 4 hours from a full discharge.

None of these answers look right to me.. From the manual: "It takes at least 24 hours to fully charge the battery". From the quick start guide: "Before you start, charge for 2 hours minimum". Basically: 24 hours for a full charge. If you can't wait to use it, make sure you charge for 2 hours before using it the first time.

depends on how discharged your battery is . most of my batteries were charged within 24 hours are less. sounds like you have a battery with a weak cell that will not let the battery come to a full charge '

I agree with previous answer. Fully charge it when you get it -- it has indicator lights showing when it's fully charged -- can take about 4 hours every time. I use mine in gloves, and if it's on max heat it fully discharges in about 2 hours, but lowering the heat extends it to 4+ hours. I got a spare pair that I keep charged as well.
