How long does it take to charge the unit itself at home?

This is a charger and does not contain an internal battery. Once connected, the charge time of the battery being charged varies by size, current charge, etc...

The unit itself does not charge up. This unit is used to charge 12 volt automotive batteries.

This unit does not contain any batteries to charge. It is strictly a plug-in 6-amp automatic charger for 12-volt automotive-type batteries.

This unit isn't battery powered. Don't know why they don't show the cord in the picture. You need to plug it in to a wall socket. :-)

I have not timed it so cannot give an exact time. If the unit is fully charged, the average use time is approximately 7 hours. Thanks for the question! Don Carter, CEO, DTC LifeTools

I used an external charger and left it charging overnight so I'm not certain how long it actually took. I was surprised that it came to me fully discharged but after that initial charge it's been working normally.

Not very long. It is always charged and ready for me as I replace it on the charger between uses.

It plugs into a normal wall outlet. The initial (out-of-the-box) charge takes about 12 hours (if I recall correctly from the owner's manual). After that, it only takes 2-4 hours to charge it, typically.

I drained it last night and charged it this morning, I would say it takes about 2-3 hours in my computer, I don't charge in the wall so I'm not sure.

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.

Not long, haven't timed it. Plugged in to 12V charging system, it seemed to charge quickly.

Its partially true. Mine takes around a little under 3 hours. For me that's ok since I have mine set aside the bed. At night I just drop it on the charger and I know I got it right when the green light comes on. Before I struggled trying to plug it in, especially when I was lying down and the light was off...lol

When I first received mine, it took about 20 minutes to an hour to get a full charge. By the time I finally just threw it out (less than a year later) I would leave it plugged in all day and get about 30 seconds of use.

I actually don't know how long it takes - I usually just plug it in over night and it's charged by morning.

I don't remember how long it took to charge but you can use it while plugged in since it is battery or direct current. I stopped using mine since it did not work properly.

I usually charge it at night when I go to bed so I'm not exactly sure how long it takes to charge.

I think it takes about 2 hrs to charge. i love this machine. just mowed the lawns today....so easy.

About 6 hours I believe. We just plug it in over night. It has a circuit to prevent over charging.

I'll guess a few hours, if you use it a lot. I keep mine sitting in the charger all the time, though.

Sure, plug it in when you get home each time. Make sure you leave it charging for the full 3 hours.
