The directions say to charge for 18 hrs. before first use, but no where does it say how long after that. How long after each use? thanks!

After first charge , you can charge the battery for 6 to 8 hours from initial charge

My manual says to charge no more than 24 hrs, I normally charge it over night and it works fine.

When I charge my baby's powerwheel she can ride it as long as an hr and I probly won't charge until a couple days later it holds a charge very good..if the battery goes all the way down I'll leave it on a charger maybe 8 hours

We have had this Power Wheel Kawasaki fourwheeler for 3 years and have always charged it the 18 hours, or close to after it wears down. We've had to do one replacement on the battery over the 3 years. We also charge the battery during the winter once a month (not sure if necessary).

We charge it overnight and it's good to go. She plays with it for 3 hours nonstop and it still has juice left in it. It holds the charge very well.

you can charge the battery after your first charge from now on to 6-8 hours.

Hi- the charger light goes green when the battery is fully charged. I think I used to charge it overnight (10-12 hrs) and it was good to go. Depends on how fully depleted the battery is.

I charge it overnight. Normally when the kids are done playing by morning its fully charged. 8 hrs normally it last my kids 2to 3 days depending on how much they played with them.

The charge has been lasting about 20 to 30 minutes. Initial charge was 6 hours and charging after use has been taking anywhere from 2 to 3 hours.

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)

I didn't have that problem. But the instructions do say that the initial charge needs to be 6 hours or something like that.

I have used it for 6 hours, and it still had a charge. Don't know average, I charge it after use.

30 or so minutes to charge. . With continuous use, it stays charged 4 or 5 hours. Actually I've never had them go dead on me if that means anything

I'm not very sure but I will use it in the next few days and will let you know . What I do : I charge it for 3-5 h then I remove it

Depends if first charge or normal charge. first charge is 10-12 hrs. Normal charge is about 3 hrs.

Well I ordered new one & tried without charging it but still it was working, & I charged after that & was working perfect.If you tried for 18 hrs, than check your charger. May something wrong with it.

I charged it for 12 hrs and it was fully charged. after that initial charge it depends on how long I use it. I do not charge it after every use because I have always read that is not good for rechargeables. and I do not leave it plugged in either.

Hello, the unit does come charged, but they say you should charge it once a month I believe (I could be wrong but it's in the little booklet they send you). You should also discharge the unit into the air but only do that at a 1 second button press. In other words, don't press the button and hold it, just press for a second & let go. You could damage the unit if you're discharging into the air for longer than 1 second. My unit seemed pretty strong upon first testing, and since I haven't had to use it yet (thank God) I periodically charge it to ensure that the battery doesn't die altogether.

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.

I think I had the same issue. We used all the charge (drained) then let it fully charge. I believe the first time took approximately 12-16 hours. It does not charge quickly.

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

It's supposed to be charged when green is lit. Personally, I leave it on another hour.

Hi... I just plug it in after using, go about my business, then come back, unplug and put it away. When the blue light goes out it's recharged. I would say no more than a half hour after using... I haven't had any problems so far. Still, the barber charges $20.00. So my expectations aren't that high. I've been using for months now so have saved more than the initial cost of the unit.

Let it charge for 8 to 12 hours. It charges slow at first this helps the battery live longer. you want long term battery health let it charge 100 percent. Then it should be good. I love mine!
