Like half an hour. If the light under the powerbank is no longer there then it means its already fully charged. Hope this will help

It usually takes several hours to charge. I charge it over night. You'll know it's charged up after the red led (light) shuts off.

Hi,I have not received this unit so far and it is more than 30 days! I have now sent message to seller to refund it. They gave me tracking ID for http://en.4px.com/index.php?option=com_tracking4px and it is not showing any status so far.If I will receive it any how (chances are too less) I will surely let you know.There are other power banks which are available on Amazon and I borrowed one from my friend and it has small lights indicator showing level of charge. I dont remember brand name.-Adeel

two hours, depend of charger amp. Red light during charge and turn off when fully charged.

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.

You need to hold the button for a few secs, you should see a green light on it while it's charging. Hold until you see.the green light. It should be fully charged well before 7 hours.

Ooh, i haven't had to charge mine yet, and have had it for over two months now. You might want to return it or exchange it.

I don't really have to charge mine too often... I'd say between 150-200 tests between charges (I'm not exactly keeping count haha!). I probably charge it less than once a month. Similarly, I haven't really kept track of how long it takes to charge, as I usually just plug it in and leave it overnight, but I can't imagine it takes longer than a couple hours to fully charge? Maybe someone can provide some more exact answers, but hopefully this helps a bit. By the way, this thing is awesome. Highly recommended.

How long did it take you to charge this up to full capacity upon receiving?

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.

You have to charge it when you first get it. Each usage cycle is about 3 mins and it beeps at you every 30 seconds to let you know 30 seconds has past. If it's completely shutting off and won't come back on after charging it for a least 24 hours contact the company ASAP.

I have- but have no idea what that means. It hasn't been a problem for me, but I still have no idea how long to charge it for.

In my experience it depends on how far it has been discharged. The times I have needed to fully charge it, it usually takes about 2-3 hours.

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.

Depending on how much time you use up while in use. I think the charge is set for 45 minutes when fully charged. If you read the instructions it will tell you to let it run down now and then to keep the battery in good shape. I sent my sister-in law one of these and she uses hers and lets it set off the charger for a few day's after a short use. So, depending how long a time you use it each time is my answer. I enjoy mine very much and have had it about a year. Good Luck, Ruth Young

Yes, charge it for a few hours. After that you are good to go for at least 2 full charges and a 3rd partial charge.

As per the instructions you charge it for 12 hours then totally drain the battery 10 to 12 times. Not do it once. It has to do with battery memory. Also use a full 110 wall charger for charging and not a weak USB port to charge.

When I received mine, it was charged. It usually takes a couple of hours to charge it up.

Seems a long time to fully charge. Has it always been 12 hours or less in the past?

I charge it over night but it shouldn't take more than about four hours. That's my estimate of the maximum of time it should take. I beleive that's how long mine takes
