how fast does it charge
1503572
For motor-bike batteries(150c.c. bike), it can do the job in less than 50 minutes. For Cars batteries, it's vary with the volume/capacity of the batteries. For my own car(Suzuki Swift), it gets the job done in 5 hours. I think it is fast enough for me.

My battery was dead to the point of having to reset the alarm code. It took 45 minutes to put enough charge in it to start and let the alternator take over which is faster. Keep in mind this is a battery maintainer, so if you don't drive the car a lot it will keep it charged up.

I use this charger as a maintenance charger for my 6V tractor. It works well in that role. I have not used it to charge a discharged battery. I like this charger because it will work on a positive ground system.

I bought it to maintain charge on a battery over the winter. The green light soon came on and I assume it is maintaining a charged condition. I won't really know until I put the battery in the car when the weather improves and see if it starts up okay. Quick charging was not a factor in my purchase decision. Maintaining a charged condition was the main consideration.

It's a very slow trickle charge. It's great for maintaining batteries but if you have a dead battery and are in a rush to charge it this is not what you need. I'm not sure but I would guess my unit would take a day to fully charge my car's battery.

The charging speed is just over 1 amp. So it all depends on how large your battery is and how drain it is. Figure AT LEAST overnight for a auto battery. But that is so subjective.

My 12V car battery rated at 715CCA took around 2 days to fully charge. It was a discharged battery unable to start the car but not totally dead.

Yes, it charges very quickly compared to other chargers. I ordered two of these and loved the speedy charging ability. However, the speaker in one of mine got fuzzy after only a few months of gentle use.

Thats the fastest way. You can charge it before you put it on your phone or while its on your phone but I think its faster to charge it before I put it on my phone that way my phone can be charging too

I don't know but it has charged anything I have connected it to. It charges quite fast. No complaints.

There's no single answer. It depends on the phone, speed & distance you're traveling. With the phone on Galaxy S3, it charged about 20% in one hour.

I have not timed a charging cycle, but I am satisfied with the speed. I am charging 3.7V @ 1000mAh Li-ion batteries which are small in size. The charger is small and fits nicely in the camera bag. If I run thru 3 of these little batteries while I'm out, the car plug can keep me going until I get home.

I take it on trips. It charges fast off of the wall, about four hours. It takes about four days to charge in my window. I have charged my cell phone many times on bus trips and such for extended life and when camping. I have probably recharged it dozens of times, and used it as many.

Definitely around that amount. I usually charge around once a week and it charges in about 1 to 2 hours.

You charge it with the included micro USB cable. Charges fast. Works well. You can use just about any micro USB charging source.

It charges fast both for the unit and when you use it to charge phone. It's a little on the heavy side but you can charge and talk at the same time I use it every day and only have to charge it every 3 days. Depending on your phone my galaxy s4 charges from 5% to 100% in less than 45 min

I don't know if it's fast charged but I notice my Ipad mini was charged fast than the short apple cord. I was pleased that I can charged my ipad quicker than before so we can use it! Hope my explaination helps, Charles.

These are not easy questions to answer definitively since it runs automatically and I have never just run it out of power to see how ling that takes. Having said that, my estimate is about three hours run time. I have my unit run every day and it usually runs for over an hour with no troubles. It returns to the charging unit on its own. I have often run it for an additional 60-90 minutes within a couple of hours of a previous usage with no problems. So it seems to charge quickly.

Yes, and fairly quickly, too. It charges whether it's turned on or not. I really like it. The sound is great!

I charge my for a minimum of 3 hrs. For a fairly inexpensive unit, it is fairly strong and the battery lasts longer than my more expensive Black and Deckers.

I have charged it several times and found it charges rapidly. I did it the first time overnight so I don't know exactly how long. Other charges were completed in 1 to 2 hours.

Yes it will charge faster. I can't be exact on how much more, but I would say at least 50% faster.
