How long should the initial charge take? I'm going on 40 hours?

It has been awhile, but initial charge of 40 hours is too much. You have a defective product. Possibly a bad battery.

BEFORE USE, let it charge all the way to get maximum efficiency. I charged mine for 8 hours to get a full charge. One must be patient to reap the rewards.

Manufaf said this- IMPORTANT: Do not charge for more than 8 hours at a time. Overcharging can damage the unit andvoid the warranty. Under normal use the unit will need to be recharged for 8 hours every 60 days.

If it's first time after ur purchase than as per manul instruction may u need to charge little long but for routine use 4 to 6 hrs should be good. I usually put it in charging for mostly overnight.

I believe you were supposed to charge it for several hours when you first got it. I can't locate the paper that came with mine right this minute but I'm pretty sure that's what it said. In any case, it sounds like its no good and you need to return it.

For me it took about 2-3 hours. The first full charge may take a bit longer. Also depends on your charger, and the settings at which you charge your battery.

Original charge after purchasing takes several hours. It will "go" quite awhile before needing a full charge (2 hr charge maybe). I have my child charge it on a daily basis. ...45mins.

Depends on what you're doing, it canrange from 2 hours to 4. It takes about 3hours for a complete charge.

Youre supposed to let it charge for a few hours the first day you get it. If that doesnt work maybe you should contact the company and get a new one.

I'm routinely using it for 3 to 4 hours and still has a charge. Guess I could probably go 4 1/2 to 5 hours. Definitely was a good purchase - at least for how I use my computer.

The initial charge is 4 hours. Subsequent charges are 1 hour. If you're in a pinch, a 5 minute charge should get the shaver through a shave.

Send it back! It takes around 4 hours to charge mine from dead to fulling charged.

4 hours is on the long side. But I would not be concerned, especially on a first charge. If it takes more than six hours I would ask for a return and replacement.

Hello, I just plugged the computer in with the new battery and let it charge for at least 24 hours. It works fine!

A full charge for the first time should take about 4 hours. The 4700 works for about 2 hours on a full charge. Keep your car cord pluged into the unit when ever possible to keep it at full charge.

I think the inital charge was about and hour and a half. Now it charges in about 20 mins, but I never let it run completey down.
