How often should I charge the battery

This would depend on how often you open the safe. I charge about once a month just as a routine. The safe will beep to let you know if the charge is getting low. I charge routinely so it doesn't start beeping at 2 AM.

You need a new battery pack! The battery charge should normally last for at least a week.

As a "moderate" user, I charge mine about once a week. It lasts impressively long.

For that, I'd probably charge it every 2-3 days. I keep an eye on the battery and charge it overnight when it's low. I haven't had any problems and finished a half marathon with it low.

The first charge should be 14 hours to give your battery full capacity charge. Then, one 3 hour charge will last for about 36 hours, or you could charge it every night like smartphones.

Depends on how long you have had the battery and if you have damaged it or properly installed it when building your model. However I would recommend charging it for 30minutes if its low on charge and an 1 or more if you almost depleted it. However please charge the battery in a lipo lithium bag, because in some cases during charging if overcharged or any thing goes wrong within the battery cells the battery itself may overheat and catch fire. Please never charge it without supervision always monitor it and unplug it if not in use.

My battery life's pretty good, if I use it a lot it lasts about a day and a half, usually I don't use it that much so I end up charging about once every two and a half days.

I usually recharge once or twice a week and I use 5-6 times a week for about an 1:30 at a time. So its batter life if pretty good. You recharge it by plugging it into a USB to socket connector or just a computer. Very easy and it charges wicked fast

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 charge mine regularly about 3 to 4 times and then I let it drain down completely and I've never had a problem yet.

I have used mine more than 30 times between charges without a problem. I have never had the battery run low so I do not really know how long it takes to charge. I just charge it after it has been more than a week or two since I used it.

It ok to do either one , the battery it self has a limited number of charges. I keep mines charged haven't had any problems with it.

I drained my battery 100% the first 4 charges. I wouldn't recommend plugging it in everyday as it can decrease the life of the battery. Once your battery is drained to 5-10% after your first 4 full drains, You'll be fine to plug it in. This is what I did. I also made sure that once a month I completely drained the battery. It exercises the battery and keeps it in good health just like when we exercise.

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 2x per week, but I don't use it every day. I charge mine at my computer. I also turn it off when I am not using it. If I have forgotten to, the battery drains very easily.

Mine is over a year old and still going strong. I charge it for a half day or so and use it off and on until it starts to loose power ...then back on the chager for abiut another day. Most rechargble tools should not be pluged up all the time and it is best to let the batteries drain to low before recharging.

FYI to anyone wanting to extend the life of this unit. Reading the manual, it states you should leave this pack sit with about a HALF charge and use it at least once a month. Once/week is better. Inside are two 2600mAh Samsung Li-Ion cells. Li-Ion batteries HATE being charged and being placed somewhere to sit or else they commit suicide!Mine is over a year old and still working fine. When not in use, I usually charge my iPhone from about 30% to 100%, then recharge the battery pack so it's somewhere around 50-75% charged. I try to do this once each month since I don't use it a lot.
