How long does it take to fully charge the battery, and how long does it last before recharge? Thx

I sent it back. Takes about 5 hrs. to fully charge and the battery does not hold a charge for more than about 300 feet. I purchase a different model electric cord trimmer and while the cord can be a pain it is more powerful. I will say I was impressed with the engineering design of this trimmer. If you look at reviews on this trimmer, you will see others complain about the battery.

They recommend 12 hours for full charging time. The unit comes with (2) batteries, just FYI. I've trimmed my yard (3) times on one battery, which surprised me. I have yet to install the second battery.

It takes a full 8 hours to charge a single battery , usually overnight ... If you trim "thick grass" the battery can last only 20 minutes (the harder the trimmer works, the quicker the battery runs down) ... For easier jobs, 1 battery lasts about 30 - 45 minutes ... I can't completely trim my yard with 2 fully charged batteries ... Hope this helps

The battery is horrible. One fully charged battery only lasted me less than 5 minutes.

I charge mine overnight because its what they call a trickle battery charger so it charges overnight without any problems and how long it lasts depends on what your weedeating. If your using it for thick grass and brush it will last about 10-15 mins max. I already had additonal batteries i keep charged up so i just put another in and keep going

After the first charge that takes about 10 hours, it usually takes about an hour to 1 1/2 hours.I don't have the charger that came with it. It wasn't strong enough. The Black & Decker store here in Birmingham swapped it for one that you sit it in to charge. The lady there said the one that had a cord to plug into the battery wasn't strong enough to fully charge it. With continuous use, it takes about an hour to run down. I change & put the other battery on it & charge the first one. If I have more to do, the first battery is recharged by the time the second runs down. I love the weed eater. It is so easy to use & light weight. It's great not having to lug a long extension cord around. Some that I cut is up hill & about 200 feet away from plugs.

It depends on how low you let the battery get.. If it is fully charged you can run it for several weeks depending on how big your yard. It comes with two batteries so I have one always charging. I love this trimmer and would recommend it. Using electric cords drove me nuts.

If you use the battery that comes with it, about 4-5 hours for a full charge.

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.

In my experience it depends on how far it has been discharged. The times I have needed to fully charge it, it usually takes about 2-3 hours.

Actually it does not take long to charge the battery. I used my camera on dec 15th to take pics and viedos and to this day I still have a full charge on it

It lasted my son about 4 hours or so before it needed recharged. It works best if you let it fully charge before operating it. He wanted to start playing with it before fully charged. But did not hold charge very long.

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

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 would charge it for a full 15 hours before using it. They usually come partially charged, so doing a full charge is the best way to be sure.

At FULL Charge, mine lasts about 15 to 20 minutes. It takes about an hour for recharging with the USB cable for your computer

As per the instructions you charge it for 12 hours then totally drain the battery 10 to 12 times. Not do it once. It has to do with battery memory. Also use a full 110 wall charger for charging and not a weak USB port to charge.

I charge mine over night and then use till it starts to slow down then over night again. I have forgotten about them in the charger for about three days, they were hot, and over the years it seems to shorten the life of the battery. so 8 or 10 hours for full charge.

Put the battery in the charger. Usually get some type of indicator light that it connected and charging. It seems like the batteries take 5 hours to fully charge.

It takes mine 8 to 10 hours for a complete recharge. I dont leave it on charge all the time. My last Battery lasted three years good for a lead acid battery.

Maybe 2 hrs... theres a green/red light on charger that tells when its fully charged. Light is a great buy! Use it alot!

What do you want to know. It charges by using USB charger. I let it charge for about 4 hours. The battery is built in. It's the same battery for clock and camera.
