How long does it take to charge the battery initially?

I would leave the battery plugged in for a full 24 hours before first using it. I thought it was charged enough when I first put mine together to try mowing my front yard and I didn't get very far before it died. I charged it for 24 hours and the next evening it worked great and stayed charged for both my front and back yards.

Mine took about two and one half hours to fully charge the first time. After green light om the charger came on I went out and mowed/mulched about 3500 sq ft of six inch tall very thick wet lawn in light drizzling rain. IT IS A KEEPER! It has the same type (lean acid) battery as your can has and you don't have to drive your new car overnight the first time to charge the battery. (do you?

it only took two or three hours at most. It usually only takes an hour or less to charge between mows.

I honestly don't know. It arrived mid week & I plugged it in. I didn't go back to it until the weekend. My lawn is small, about 40' x 40'. Then I have a few other places that I mow. It takes about 40 minutes in total & I have not ever come close to depleting the charge. This will be my third season. My wife hates the mower but I think that's just a ploy so she doesn't have to ever do it ..........

It is a 5ah battery and the charger has 1.5ah output (charge rate), so if the battery came completely discharged it would take under four hours. Once the battery reaches full charge leaving it connected to the charger does NOTHING, good or bad. Your car has the same type battery and you don't have to drive it 24 hours the first time you take it off of the show room floor to charge the battery.

I normally charge it overnight so I'm not sure exactly how many hours it takes to give it a full charge. I'd guess about 4 hours, but that's just a guess.

The light will blink green until the battery is fully charged, then it will glow solid green to indicate it is ready to use. It typically takes 1 - 2 hours to charge completely.

You should be able to turn the computer on as soon as it's plugged in, but in my experience it takes about an hour to fully charge.

I've only used the charger once a couple weeks ago and did not time it. However, I think it took around two hours to charge the battery that came with the camera.

Perhaps an hour when I got it to charge it to a full charge and the battery last about 6 hours until next charge.

It takes about 4 hours. I let it go overnight, and it's pretty rare that I start with a completely dead battery

If the battery is 1/4 full, and if you charge it at rate of 2.2 amps, it will take roughly 40 to 45 minutes.

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

I don't know, there was some charge on the battery when I received it, and I plugged it in and left it, I don't think it took that long. Since then it didn't take long to top off the charge since I hadn't used it yet.

It probably took about two hours for the battery to fully charge. I have used it off-and-on for maybe an hour a night for two weeks. The battery is still going strong. The unit goes to sleep after 15 minutes of non-use to save battery. Hope that helps.

Hello. I never actually timed it, but it seems like it only takes a few hours tops. It holds the charge good as we'll hope this helps a little.

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.

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

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

It depends on how low the battery level is. If you are charging it from 0 then it will take about 1.5-2 hours.

To fully charge the battery when it has no battery left at all, it takes about 2 hours to get fully charged.
