How long does it take to charge a fully drained battery with this charger?

The charge time is amazingly quick but the battery life is also amazingly short. On a recent trip to Africa, I took five batteries and that was plenty. But this is a great deal and a good charger.

I use these batteries in a Contour Camera and I've found it takes about an hour to recharge from a car 12v cigarette lighter; slighter faster if plugged into a wall outlet.

about 1 hour and 15 minutes from the mains socket and 2 hours with car socket. theyre great buy them, worth every penny

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.

Could take several days. The charger is a maintainer so it has a very low output current. It isn't designed to be a fast charger. it is designed to keep a full battery full.

Typically, from a fully depleted battery to a full charged battery it will take 45 minutes. It will not harm the SBU to leave the charger attached overnight though.

I have never fully discharged it so I can't say how long a full charge would take. I recall that the first charge took under an hour. However, I have used it for well over 4 hours without a charge and a re-charge takes about 30 - 45 minutes +/-. I use a standard charger not the USB port on the computer. Seems fast to me.

Each battery I would say takes round about 1.5 hours to fully charge once fully drained.

ON a full charge with a new battery, between 5 and 6 minutes. Takes about 20 minutes to recharge.

With 500mA US charger, it takes 4-6 hours to charge this from zero to full in my case.

It takes about 4 hours to fully charge a new battery, a little over 3 for a discharged (20% remaining) one. It might also depend on electrical current, as it takes a bit longer in Japan than in the USA.

Probably about 1/2 hour to an hour. There is an indicator on the charger when fully charged.

about 45 minutes to fully charge with the charger I have, but it varies on what kind of charger you may have. USB chargers seem to take longer than AC chargers do.

Hmm - I don't know that I've ever really checked the amount of time it takes to go from completely dead to a full charge. I normally just plug it in to an outlet and leave it for an hour or two and then it's good to go. You can also use the USB to charge it on your computer - which is nice. It's really a nice little charger - I use it all the time on trips, or if I know I'm going to be away from the house all day I'll keep it in my pocket just as a safety measure in case my phone battery dies.

The greater the battery is discharged, the longer the charger will take to restore it to full charge. The unit will automatically do this and maintain a trickle charge until disconnected.

I have a few of these chargers and many of these batteries. If your charging two at the same time that are almost drained you can expect a full charge in about 3 hours.......Hope this helped.

Mine had a partial charge so I can't be sure, but I think about 4 hrs to fully charge.

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.

On a normal battery 6-8 hours. I also have an extra life battery and it charges it overnight! ! I love this charger lol

I usually get a full charge on an empty battery in 4-6 hours. I have two so Irotate them.
