Will these batteries react badly to charging only a couple hours at a time? I will be working somewhere with limited access to electricity (2hrs/day)

These batteries will charge in an hour. Two hours, two batteries... Or close to it

Not at all. They are lithium-ion, and don't have a charging memory like the old Ni-Cad batteries did. I do exactly what you're describing all the time, and have not noticed any decrease in capacity.

I actually plug them in to charge and forget it. But I would guess an hour or two would be sufficient.

I am only on my second season with these batteries and they charge just fine. I have about 1/2 acre of grass to cut and can cut that with 2 of these in the mower.As for how long they will fully charge, i do not know. I hope about 4 years as they are expensive right now.

I think I only charged mine for a couple of hours, and the charge lasts quite a long time.

The first time you charge them should at least be over night, just like a phone battery. Other wise it wont keep a charge.

Recharge these anytime. In fact, best to NOT let these run down entirely, as these (unlike Ni-Cad) have no 'memory.'Mainly don't overcharge. These take about a 2 hour charge, and overcharging in an attempt to bring them up to full capacity cause battery 'stress.' You can get the full, more scientific answers to your questions if you Google. Also, remove from charger after charging.

I charged mine and my sons and we use all week and.hooked up the charger and they worked just fine and about 2 hours they were full charge . So yes we like them a lot.

Leon, I've had mine go for 3 full days with intermittent use maybe 3 to 4 hours a day, before I've become afraid they are going to be dead and charged them.

Generally not very quickly, as long as the batteries have a decent charge, they are okay. No, I don't have to partway through charging, unless they'd be down already. (I often use rechargeable batteries, like Duracell's, or Energizer's, and make sure they're full, before using.) Hope this helps and thanks for asking.

,they take about 5 to 8 hours from a low charge to a full charge.I let them charge over night after about full charge charger will have a green light. there powerful batterys.

they have a small amount of charge, but it is reccommended that you slow-charge them for 8 hours before you use them.

I believe it would work fine. I would however charge on a low setting and probably not more than two or three hours at a time.

I have not as yet and I basically use them every day and charge what feels like every other day. They say 10 hours and it really is at least that. I'd agree that replacing the battery is unfortunately not a likely option. The silver lining perhaps is that li-ion batteries are very good these days so with some luck they'll last several years.

It will take several days if they are severely drained. Only because they are designed to charge slowly for a deep charge. My trailer batteries are 6 volt deep cycle and take several days to charge.

Listen up folks, my cell technicians use these batteries on their ATG 6430's and 6420's and they will keep their laptops going all day from 7:00AM till after 5:00PM without having to stop and charge. Too bad I can't get the same out of them. j/k Great Battery, thanks... A+

you can charge them as much as you want they don't acquire a 'memory' but as soon as the fully charged light comes on remove from charger they can be damaged by being left on charge they don't seem to discharge just lying around the mah hours on these batteries are greatly overstated

Best thing to do is buy a spare 2-pack batteries of same kind from amazon (less than $8) and have them kept charged as back ups
