How long does it take to charge, and how long will it hold a charge without recharging? I would like to keep it in my trunk in case my battery dies.

Is it ok to store in the vehicle? I read the manual and it says never to let it freeze and store at room temperature.

It can take 5-24 hours of initial charge time for these (depending on how big the battery is) and the manual for the unit I have says "for best performance, recharge at least every 3 months or after each use." The recharge time after that first one depends on how long it's been and how drained the battery is possibly talking another 24 hours.

you need a good 4 to 5 hrs. and I got 1 good jump of this Clore JNC300XL I wish now I got the bigger one .

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.

maybe takes an hour to charge. charge lasts quite a while. probably couple days in standby mode and probably couple hours at least of talk (active) time. After the firmware upgrade I made to the unit, I am really happy with it. It is a great business tool. I often use this instead of our VOIP phone system.

yeah you really have to crank it a long time. It doesn't hold a charge at all. It charges my phone (not an iphone) in about 45 mins.

I've had mine for months and only charged it the initial time. I don't recall how long it took. I only use it a couple of times a week but the charge has held.

It takes overnight to recharge. Mine lasted just over 26 months. I charged it about once a week and used it every second day or so. I just ordered another one because it won't hold a charge. I'm tempted to take it apart and replace the battery as it serves me well.

It has a cooling fan that runs constantly so I unplug it. The batteries seem to hold a charge for a long time so I don't bother leaving it plugged in. Most of the time it rides in the trunk of the car anyway. Take care

When we first got it ours did the same thing it just needed a full charge, not sure how long that would be because after it kept doing this same thing to me I basically just left it charging for two days. Though it doesn't really seem to have a long battery life to begin with. If that doesn't help I'm not sure, but it does take a long time to charge and without a full charge it goes dead very fast. Hope that helps.

It takes very little time to charge, maybe an hour. I can definitely say not more than 2. I haven't timed it yet. I just know it's pretty quickly. It certainly charges faster than my old rechargeable batteries LOL

No battery of this type will hold a charge forever, it is the nature of batteries that just sitting on the shelf in the store or in the trunk of the car the chemical reaction inside the battery does not stop. Any that claims it does not need recharging even after going unused over a period of time is lying. I plug mine in about every 3 weeks.

It takes about 30 minutes to charge. It will usually stay charges for around four hours.

I've only plugged it in the first day I got it (as per the directions it came with) It's been in the trunk of my car since then and still holding a full charge. I just used it again yesterday too.

It will charge a dead car battery with in 13 hours depending on the battery's capacity. It will not jump start a car though.

Cars go about two races / battles before needing recharged... I've never timed it, but I'd say 10 minutes or so. Charging is quick, say 5 minutes.

Mine recharge in less than an hour, when plugged into a wall outlet. It takes longer in the car using the cord and power port; probably 2 hours. I use my batteries until I get the "battery exhausted" message so I am charging a fully drained battery.

If the battery is fully charged, it should last for about 6 hours. This is a rough guess based on my using it for about a week, a short time each day, before needing to recharge the battery.

I leave mine mounted in my truck. I don't leave it charging, for I'm afraid it might damage it. The good thing is, when it gets low, it flashes and warns you the battery is low. I then just simply plug it in and let it charge. It holds a charge for a good while.
