It doesn't take that long; about one hour for full charge. Took over 40 shots and 30 minutes of HD video with one charge.

Less than an hour. And you can get extra batteries and chargers on amazon for dirt cheap now.I think I get 2 extra batteries 2 car 2 house chargers for $20And have never used any of them. Just the original and I take 200 pics per day.(Real estate appraiser)Great camera!

It charges pretty fast-like an hour or so,but if you're planning to shoot more than 200 photos at one try,I'd get another battery- there are bunch of them on eBay for $5-8,any would work.

It took approx. 1.5hr to fully charge. There is an indicator light that will turn from Red to Green when the battery is fully charged. Hope this helps!

I used the charger and plugged it into it. It only took about 40 minutes to charge it up completely. Haven't used the camera yet. Sandy H.

I have this camera and I use re-chargeable batteries that it goes through VERY quickly. I guess I was spoiled by my Pentax Optio 5 megapix camera which could go at least 4 weeks without having to recharge the batteries.

The camera is charged through a standard micro USB connector. Nothing special.

I have two sizes of batteries - the large one can take up to 2 hours if it close to total discharge. The smaller battery (the one that came with my camcorder) takes about an hour.

all day and no problem. :) a fully charged new battery gives about 1.5 hour for video and 4 hours for picture taking. It is a fun little camera.

The battery that comes with this camera lasts for about 350 shots on a single charge. The battery charges through the use of the supplied external charger.

I purchased a camera bottom attachment that allows for two batteries to be connected and also two more batteries and a 2nd charger. The double battery set up lets me video and photo for about 30 to 45 minutes or about 400 - 500 hi def photos without charging. charging the batteries on the separate chargers takes about 30 minutes. The extra batteries also allow me to just have the spare set when the camera set is getting low. PS: I purchased off brand name batteries from Amazon with the "high amp" ratings and have no problem with holding charge or charging.

You need to connect charger directly to the camera. The battery, when fully charged, will last for a while.

I'm sorry, I did not keep track of how long it took to charge; I just did them overnight. Once it's charged, according to the camera readout, it is good for more than 6 hours of running. The two batteries should be good for most conceivable situations. I have pretty much stopped using the charger that comes with the camera.

How long did it take you to charge this up to full capacity upon receiving?

It takes very little time to charge, maybe an hour. I can definitely say not more than 2. I haven't timed it yet. I just know it's pretty quickly. It certainly charges faster than my old rechargeable batteries LOL

The battery is small. It takes charge in an hour and lasts for 2 or 3 picture taking mode. If video, then 1/2 hr. It is a plug in, is flat, comes w/ charger.

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...

My battery life has been great. I don't shoot hundreds of photos every day, maybe on average 20 per day, and the battery stays charged for about two weeks. It doesn't matter to me how fast it goes from 100% to 80% charge, but how long to takes to get to 0-20% charge.
