Just got it and will use this weekend. How long does it take to charge and does the power last?

I've had mine about a year, my husband has had his for just a month or two. I watch some videos but mostly read books or look at bbc news or pinterest so brightness is up about halfway most of the time. I think it lasy fully charged for about two or three hours using it nonstop. Longer if im reading books already downloaded (like on the plane) chrged in about a 45min or so if its turned off, little slower in airplane mode. Note the brightness and things like gps location and wifi searching constantly use power in the background just like your phone! Turn off everything your not using :)

I'd say it fully charges within 30 minutes. I haven't timed it though. When I use it it is only on for about 10 minutes and I had to recharge after about 4-5 days. The button to turn it on and off can be very difficult. Sometimes it is easy and comes right on and other times I have to keep trying.

The first time we charged the battery before we used it took 18 hours. After that we just charge it overnight. I think it was recommended to charge it 5-6 hours after using it.

I charge mine overnight because its what they call a trickle battery charger so it charges overnight without any problems and how long it lasts depends on what your weedeating. If your using it for thick grass and brush it will last about 10-15 mins max. I already had additonal batteries i keep charged up so i just put another in and keep going

I haven't actually timed it, but I've been able to use it quite a bit without recharging. I use quite a lot on Sundays and for hours at a time on other days of the week. Takes several days before I have to recharge. I have been impressed with the battery life.

I usually have it plugged in all the time. So I really don't know how long it last or how long it takes to charge.

I normally charge it overnight, but if I had to guess, it's about 3-5 hours. However, the length of it being able to charge other things far surpasses three hours.

I usually plug it in overnight. I think it takes a few hours to charge. It depends on how low the battery is when you charge it.

If you use the quick charger (which you have to buy), it will charge in 90 minutes to 2 hours. Personally when I've used the quick charger, it seemed to shorten the battery life, so I only use it in emergencies. The regular charger (which is included with tools) takes 6 to 8 hours. The newer regular chargers have a light to tell you when it's fully charged.

I haven't actually timed it but I guess it takes between 2 to 3 hours. It depends on if you are using it while charging.

Nope it only takes about 30 mins to charge. I normally charge it while I'm sitting at work!

I'm not really sure how long it takes. I just plugged it in and let it charge over night and it was fine.

I get between 3-4 hours on a charge. I tend to charge it when I am at 1/2 charge while I am still on it to keep it ready to go. It works well,I am pleased with it.
