Does it really take 1 1/2 hrs to fully charge? How bright is the flashlight? Thanks in advance

The battery is fully charged in one and a half hours. The flashlight it's really bright, better than most any flashlight I've ever used

george, i haven't measured the charge time; i have two batteries and one is always ready to go; by the time i use up one the other one is ready to go. i don't use the flashlight. sorry, but this isn't much help to you. but i do like the tool; it's met all my needs (furniture construction; periodical but heavy use; the torque settings are very useful).

Do not purchase the drill. Battery is awful. Mine broke after 2 uses and hitachi wouldn't help. I took it to the Hitachi repair center and the tech said it was a piece if junk.

I haven't timed it but I don't think it takes more than an hour. It's basically irrelevant because you just use the spare battery that attaches to the flashlight. The flashlight is OK but I haven't found much use for it.

The battery charges up fairly quickly. Probably from totally dead to fully charged in about 1 hour or so. Once charged, depending on the use (i.e. video, pictures, combination of both, viewing pics, etc), I went a full day without any issues. Safer to top it off at night so you'll not have to worry about it.

I've had mine about a year, my husband has had his for just a month or two. I watch some videos but mostly read books or look at bbc news or pinterest so brightness is up about halfway most of the time. I think it lasy fully charged for about two or three hours using it nonstop. Longer if im reading books already downloaded (like on the plane) chrged in about a 45min or so if its turned off, little slower in airplane mode. Note the brightness and things like gps location and wifi searching constantly use power in the background just like your phone! Turn off everything your not using :)

Recharging time depends on how long you use the flashlight. I used mine for 4 or 5 hours doing an inspection-one morning, turning the light off and on during that period of time. When I got back to my office I put it in the charger and had lunch and did a few errands. In a couple of hours I went out and did another inspection and the flashlight was fine. Always leave the flashlight in the charger. Don't worry about overcharging. It will not overcharge.

Thank you for your inquiry. The recharge time is 1.5 seconds in full. Thank you and have a great day.

From all the way dead about 6 to 8 hours for a full charge. When it is charging there is a red led, and when it is fully charged it turns blue. It works great!

Am sorry but I lost my Manual. I've charge mine up only 3 times since I bought it. This unit really hold there charge. it takes about 1-1/2 days to fully charge it. I go by the test button. I keep mine in the truck of my car. It's a life saver. There's also a plug for your lighter to the unit, but I have'nt used it.

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

You will know as the flashlight has a red and green colored light at the switch button, when it is charging, light will be red, when fully charged, turns to green. does not take long at all to charge. You cannot tell what the charge level is.

T. C. I haven't really timed it but I think you get a couple/few hours out of it. Having two batteries is great. I always have one charged. I really like this flashlight!

Not so great. On full charge maybe 15 min continuos use. I always bring extra batteries. It is super bright though.

Red light stays on so its difficult to say how long a full charge takes. From my experience 2 hours work. If it's handy for you you can use while charging

I used it for a hard 30 minutes and then set it to recharge and it was fully charged in less than 30 minutes. I'm not sure if it took 15 minutes, or the full 30 minutes that I was gone. Here say says that the drawbacks are the battery life and the charger quality.Very pleased with the one I purchased, so far.

Then again, maybe your question is how long does it take to charge the charger itself? If I remember correctly when I first got it, I plugged it in on the house current and I believe it took a few hours to completely charge. Since then I have used it on my phone several times and maybe once on the kindle and it still has some juice in it. I'm not going to recharge it until it is depleted all the way. It is a little heavy to carry in your pocket but it sure can save you if you need it. I very happy with it.

When to charge is still in question. The unit flashes until it is fully charged. SO far it is a good light, I have had multiple comments on the brightness and have crashed with it and it held up fine.

The battery takes 2 hours to charge on the initial charge, less later if some charge is left. A full charge lasts 25 hours. From the moment the light starts flashing, the battery is in a low-charge state and has 4 hours left. Great battery life!

I believe the charge time is two hours. When I received my product both batteries where fully charged though. I bought my flashlight for my job, but barely use it so I am still using the first charged battery.Hopefully this was helpful for you.
