It took a few hours to charge the first time and slightly over an hour to recharge, depending on how depleted the battery was at the time of recharge. This unit takes no longer than any other charger and battery.

So all the way the first time and then about 3 to 3 and a half hours every time after

I recommend charging it all the way to full the first time and then it takes about 3 hours to fully charged after you use it and gets really low on charge.

I charged mine for about 4 hours before I used it. The battery loses juice as it sits. So only charge it before you use it.

I have only charged it once...before Thanksgiving. Left it overnight. The stock battery lasted 20 minutes. This lasted Wed - Sat with intermittent use.

It takes mine 8 to 10 hours for a complete recharge. I dont leave it on charge all the time. My last Battery lasted three years good for a lead acid battery.

I didn't charge mine before use. Upon receiving my battery it had about 60% charge. To fully charge the battery takes approximately 2 hrs.

Only the very first time you need to charge it for 8 hours straight. The following charging can be multiple shorter duration. The red indicator light will be out when the battery is fully recharged. Hope that answer your question.

I charged mine for 12 hours the first time and mine worked perfectly. You might want to make sure the battery connection is good.

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.

Leave it in the charger as long as you want and it won't hurt the battery. It takes about 9 hours to fully charge. Therefore, I suggest you have two batteries.

The first time we charged the battery before we used it took 18 hours. After that we just charge it overnight. I think it was recommended to charge it 5-6 hours after using it.

You are only suppose to recharge the battery no longer than 6hrs; however, I can charge it 6hrs and when I go to use it - one charge will last about 30-45mins....

It didn't take that long to charge my new battery. I would think a few hours would be good. Maybe you got a new battery that was bad?? Hope this helps...

If your battery is completely dead,charge it 6 hours.I found this to be adaquate.Problem is at full charge battery will only last 20-30 minutes.

Charge the battery for 9-16hrs, for the first time, before turning on the laptop (even if green light comes on before the 9-16hrs time frame, leave it alone). After that, turn it on and turn off completely. Next, you use the laptop as you normally do. Remember, these batteries have an approx 500-2,000 charge life. This means, if you unplug the laptop at 80% and plug it back in , it just used one of the charges.

When you first get it, out of the box, it needs an 8+hr charge. Once charged, it'll stay on for about an hour, then needs another charge. I got tired of charging it all night, only for it to go dead quickly...so I just leave it connected to the 12v charger while in my 18 wheeler. I'm not at all impressed with the battery life.

It comes with its own rechargeable battery. Just make sure you install it properly to charge first use, and let it run right down before charging it again.

I recharge about 1-2 weeks. I wait until the battery drains completely and it basically shuts down on me. Then I recharge fully. It's a lot longer than every few days.
