I do think it depends on how much you have used it as a power source, mine can last for weeks before I need to charge it, If I use it as the charger for my phone it runs down quicker but still seems to stay charged for a very long time before it needs a charge

I mostly use mine for long trips overseas, not every day or kept in the car, so I had't really thought about. Just checked mine in the drawer where I left it fully charged when I got back from a trip in mid-July. It's still fully charged! Guess a pretty long time then! Hope that helps!

You can charge it in about 2 or 3 hours. I found a trick that if you make sure it stays cool, it will charge quicker and discharge slower. Not a bad battery.

Probably around six or so hours. If the battery is not fully discharged it could be less. Will stop blinking when charged. It does not hurt to leave it it the charger like older batteries. If the battery is hot when put into the charger a red light will come on. Will not start charging until the battery cools some

Regina, that's a good question. The info sheet that came with the device claimed I think 150 hrs. of continuous use, which seemed like a misprint to me. When I plug the charger in the blue light comes on but goes out within about 5 minutes, which may mean it's charged. I think I'll wait until it runs out to learn the answer as I can always go back to the onscreen keyboard while it charges. You might ask someone who's owned it longer.Charles

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)

Not very long. It is always charged and ready for me as I replace it on the charger between uses.

I have taken the extra battery, fully charged, on to planes in my carrying-on bag. I pack the charger in my luggage. I have never had a need for the charger during flight.

Depends how powerful the charger is You should leave it charging overnight--min.4-8 hours--

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

The manufacturer suggest keeping the unit plugged in since it has an automatic charger that keeps the unit charged without overcharging. The other models they recommend charging immediately after use but do not provide a shelf life for the charge.

It would probably stay on the shelf forever, however; drain it to 40% before first use, recharging to 100%, then draining to 20%, etc. When fully charged now I have 6 hours of time, although I haven't tested that to the max......about 4 hours is the most I have used it. I do leave it plugged in when not in use, but plan to use it on a 2-week trip soon, so will find out how it holds up when unplugged.

I threw mine out because I could never get it to charge again after the first time. The first time, you should charge it for about 12 hours.

Make sure you wait 15 minutes after using your battery before you charge it. If you charge it right after you use it they won't last long. You have to let them cool down.

Leaving the battery in after it's charged won't harm the charger but, it can shorten the life of the battery. Batteries need to be cycled between a full charge and discharge for a long life. A few hours won't harm anything but, I wouldn't recommend leaving it on the charger when not in use.

I actually don't know. Here's why. Almost everytime I use it I store it in the charger so it charges after each use. On occasion while traveling I've used it maybe five times without charging and it's held the charge through that and when I did charge it after that use, I never noticed how long it took. The shaver doesn't tell you how much of the battery is left before it needs to be charged. I guess they assume you'll store and charge it after each use.

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.
