If you use the quick charger (which you have to buy), it will charge in 90 minutes to 2 hours. Personally when I've used the quick charger, it seemed to shorten the battery life, so I only use it in emergencies. The regular charger (which is included with tools) takes 6 to 8 hours. The newer regular chargers have a light to tell you when it's fully charged.

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.

a good solid hour on the B&D; quick charger, not sure about any of other chargers

I charged it over night to start. about 12 hours and it has never run dry. I charge it for as couple of hours after use to ensure it is charged for future use. there are time s that I don't use it for more than 30 days but it still stays charged.

This was a gift, so I do not know the answer from personal experience. My husband has a similar drill with rechargeable battery, and he leaves his on the charger overnight. He does not know whether this provides a full charge, but it has been adequate for his purposes.

I think the initial charge was about 3-4 hours. I really don't remember, but it wasn't too long.

I didn't charge mine before use. Upon receiving my battery it had about 60% charge. To fully charge the battery takes approximately 2 hrs.

I believe, I charged this new battery for approximately 8 hours before the first use. Now, it takes, perhaps 1-3 hours to fully charge. It's been a good battery...much better than the OEM.

I know this sounds stupid but make sure the battery is inserted properly and that it is in all the way. My charge time has been 10-20 minutes. My original battery charge lasted 6 months.

It takes a couple of hours, I think, if the battery is empty. I've since bought a second battery for mine so I could do double the work withoutwaiting if I feel like it. Charge them both at night for next time. Still love it!

Not sure. It was a gift to my grandson, but I've heard no complaints about charging time.My experience in general is that charging thru USB is much slower than conventional AC charging.Doesn't the instruction sheet tell how long it should take to charge?

Although I never timmed the charging of the Battery, I do know it doen't take all night. I would guess about 5 or 6 hours

Hi. It takes a long time for the battery to charge. It seems like it's an overnight thing. I thought it was only for the first charge, but it's every time you charge it. Other than that, I like the product very much.

Not sure how long it takes to charge, as i charged it every night after skiing. But i was able to use it two days in a row without a charge. Battery does not seem to draw much power. Love the product and worth the high price to avoid wires. hope this helps.

Not completely positive, but more than six to eight hours. I find it is not a quick charge at any given time, but your given adequate warning that it needs a charge and can plug it in overnight so it's ready when you do need it.

That's way too long. It seems to take longer than usual with some cheap batteries and with rechargeables. Even then, not 20 minutes. I'd double check that it's not the batteries if convenient and/or contact the seller/mfgr to see if they'll swap it for another one.

It takes about 30 minutes to charge. It will usually stay charges for around four hours.

Leave it in the charger as long as you want and it won't hurt the battery. It takes about 9 hours to fully charge. Therefore, I suggest you have two batteries.

Not sure. I let it charge over night but am not sure if it takes that long to really charge it. Sorry

I've charged it once since purchace. Unsure as to length of charge as I turn it off and on frequently. Takes around 40 mins.to recharge.

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.

Mine is working extremely well. I've never timed it, but I have a 1/2 acre and a lot of leaves. I can clean up all my leaves and not run out of time. The next time I'll get half way through and let it die and then charge it. I haven't watched how long it takes to charge either, I tend to put it in the charger and leave it all night. You can find that information on the Battery Purchasing site, I think it said 4 hours.
