How long does it take to charge the battery when it is new and/or when it dies?

Less then an hour. However, I never stood there to check for every 5 minutes to know exactly, but when I am checking back in an hour the charge is completed. I am actually very pleased with this. I got a second battery also that I am charging when the one in the camera is toward its end...

Hi Robert, I don't remember exactly how long it took to charge, but I have had mine for over a year now and haven't had to recharge yet. I don't use it a lot, but it's ready when I need it.

I used to get about 12-15 days when new. However, as the battery has gotten older, its life has gone to 8-10 days. And li-ion batteries just die without warning.

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.

Only have it in there when it needs it. Try to get the battery level as low as you can. It shouldn't take more than a 4 hours to charge. Mine usually takes 2-3 hours.

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

I think it takes about an hour to charge. The red light goes off when the unit is fully charged.

If the battery is seated properly it should provide at least 3 hours of charge upon arrival. This is a replacement part so it may need some manipulation to seat it otherwise the problem may be in the other portion of charging assembly as suggested above.

Let it charge for 8 to 12 hours. It charges slowat 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!

Time wise I'm not exactly sure but when I would fully charge mine then go to charge my phone. It would charge my phone battery a little over half before dying. Then I would have to recharge.

can take as much as an hour if they are completely down. Charger has two lights, one red - charging and one green - charged.I am assuming that when the green light turns on the battery is charged and won't overcharge.

I did leave it charging for a long time and it died within weeks. So I am on my 2nd battery and put a timer on the power cord to charge it so I do not do that again.

Usually the battery last between 4 to 6 hours. Just make sure you don't drain the battery. When you see that the battery is almost gone, charge it to prolong the battery life.

As per the instructions you charge it for 12 hours then totally drain the battery 10 to 12 times. Not do it once. It has to do with battery memory. Also use a full 110 wall charger for charging and not a weak USB port to charge.

It usually takes several hours to charge. I charge it over night. You'll know it's charged up after the red led (light) shuts off.

We usually charge it over night after each use to ensure a full charge for the next time. But after 6 to 8 hours it's good to go. I like to let them run it completely down and then charge it just so the battery doesn't get a memory.

There are only two indicators to the battery life, "charging" signaled by a solid red light, and "Charged" when the red light turns off. The time it takes to fully charge is roughly 2 hours. But with a continuous working time of 8-10 hours you shouldn't have much to worry about as far as battery life.
