It comes with a partial charge, so you can use it til it goes down to 15 or 10 percent.you can also just charge it to 100 if you prefer.it takes at least 2 hours

The one I bought for my dad came fully charged. Since then, it only takes a couple hours, 2-3 for full charge.

It needs to be charged a full 24 hours when you first get it. If you charge it less than that the first time, the charges won't last as long. A battery can have a memory. If you charge it a short time, you will only be able to use it for short times. Be patient and charge it for 24 hours first, after that keep it in the stand and it will stay charged. In my kit there's a bright yellow taped instruction on the box that held the charging base where it says to charge it a full 24 hours before using the first time or the warranty is void.

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.

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

I normally just allow my phone to get to 2% prior to charging it. I tried at 30% before and the phone seemed to die fast than before. It takes my phone a couple days to reduce to 2%. If it is at 20% I will play games for about an hour so I can throw it on the charger for the night. It does take a few hours to get a good charge on it.

I would estimate about 45-60 minutes. The number of charges obviously depends on how you use your phone but I can get up to two full charges.

No it's best to charge it overnight before attaching devices to it to charge. Charges phone with no battery in an hour.

Yes charge it for a full 24 hours before your 1st use. It is in the owners manual or you can go online to the company website. It will work great after that. CheersRandall

Depending on how much time you use up while in use. I think the charge is set for 45 minutes when fully charged. If you read the instructions it will tell you to let it run down now and then to keep the battery in good shape. I sent my sister-in law one of these and she uses hers and lets it set off the charger for a few day's after a short use. So, depending how long a time you use it each time is my answer. I enjoy mine very much and have had it about a year. Good Luck, Ruth Young

The instructions recommend fully charging before use. The battery does come with some charge in it typically.

Yes, it comes with a battery that needs to be charged for 24 hours prior to use. It may be charged to a certain extent but the instructions clearly say charge for 24 hours prior to use.

You'll need to leave this in the sun for most of that time. You can charge it prior using a usb and an outlet or computer. If you have a smart phone it will take longer to charge. 3 weeks is a long time, I've only used it for 5 days at the most. But it needs to be in decent sunlight for several hours. You can charge this in the sun then plug it into your phone at night to charge your phone

It can take between one and a half to two hours to charge the battery if charged when about 15% of the charge remains. I usually do not let mine completely run out but based on the time it takes for 85% of the battery to charge, I would estimate two hours and twenty minutes to two and a half hours for a full charge.

Yes, just plug it up to charge before use and it will last for quite awhile before it needs to be charged again.

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.
