How long do I need to charge the battery for?

it depends on the charge of the battery, but usually a fully charge will last 2 hours.

First drain the battery completely and then hook it up to the charger, or charging cable for 3 hours. (After the first charge you only need to charge it for up to 1 hour and 30 minutes 1 hour at least though)

I have used my battery for several shorter trips lasting about 10-15 minutes each and have not seen any reduction or a need to recharge. I would say I have about 90 minutes so far on a charge.

The battery needs to be charged every 10 to 12 hours in normal use. If used intensively, needs to be charged after 8 hours.

About an hour or two. Sometimes it seemed longer to make sure you get a full charge.

It depends on the charge status of the battery. Sometimes 5 minutes will do it.

Although I never timmed the charging of the Battery, I do know it doen't take all night. I would guess about 5 or 6 hours

depends on your rate of charge. But if you charge at 5.3 probably about 45 minutes.

I just plug the batteries in for around 8 hours and use em. It works well for me. I hope this helps. I had also purchased new batteries and I charged them overnight the first time. GOOD LUCK

A brand new battery can take up to 3 hours to fully charge. After the battery has been charged and depleted to under 5% about ten times, the charge that is held takes about 2 - 2.5 hours to fully charge.

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

Probably an hour for a full charge. I finally had to replace my battery because it would not hold a charge. Pull yours out and see if it is bulged in the middle. If so it is bad.

The initial charging time is 24 hours. Let it charge for 24 hours before you use it.

3 to 6 Months. 4to5 hours is the time needed to recharge the battery after use. Obviously, you have to recharge the battery if you use it to charge a device and the 3 to 6 months only applies to standby availability. There are LED charge level lights to monitor for approximate charge levels to indicate when recharge is needed.

I usually charge my battery overnight. I believe it took over 3 hours once when I wanted to use the trimmer during the day.

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.

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.
