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

This battery has bigger capacity than NiMH type regular battery.But, Still we need to use same charging station.By this reason It take more longer time to fully charged than regular battery in 1st time (almost a day? I don't remember correctly).But, recharge time will be similar, just spend amount need to recharge.This battery gives long run time to roomba.

An our or two max. You may want to check to make sure that the battery is properly installed and your charger works just fine. If you are using a docking station try to charge roomba without the docking station.

This battery will fully charge within 2 hours. It has 46% more capacity than the original battery and 56% more operating time than the original battery as well.

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.

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.

I'm not entirely sure as I normally put it on overnight. I'll try and see next time it requires a full charge. I suspect it takes a few hours though.

When we first got it ours did the same thing it just needed a full charge, not sure how long that would be because after it kept doing this same thing to me I basically just left it charging for two days. Though it doesn't really seem to have a long battery life to begin with. If that doesn't help I'm not sure, but it does take a long time to charge and without a full charge it goes dead very fast. Hope that helps.

Seems a long time to fully charge. Has it always been 12 hours or less in the past?

make sure you have the battery in the charger in the right direction, I ha mine pluged in overnight. The battery stays charged for a long time

I am sorry, I did not keep track of it, I left it over night charging and I went to bed, next day it was fully charged , my best guess it takes at least 4 to 5 hours.

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 let mine charge overnight and have had no problem. I don't know how long I can go without charging

a fully dead battery might have other problems, like shorted cells, or something else that might affect it's ability take a full charge. But as far as the battery charger goes it should charge overnight, it's best i've ever had

I actually don't know how long it takes - I usually just plug it in over night and it's charged by morning.

Original charge after purchasing takes several hours. It will "go" quite awhile before needing a full charge (2 hr charge maybe). I have my child charge it on a daily basis. ...45mins.

When you charge the camera, the charge light stays on regardless if it is fully charged or not to my experience. I lastly remember charging it overnight. I would say about 4 to 6 hours.

None of these answers look right to me.. From the manual: "It takes at least 24 hours to fully charge the battery". From the quick start guide: "Before you start, charge for 2 hours minimum". Basically: 24 hours for a full charge. If you can't wait to use it, make sure you charge for 2 hours before using it the first time.

It took approx. 1.5hr to fully charge. There is an indicator light that will turn from Red to Green when the battery is fully charged. Hope this helps!

It does take longer to charge. I usually plug it in when I go to bed and is ready to go by morning.

I believe they recommend taking it off charge when it is fully charged but I have ofter put it on overnight so I'm sure I've charged it for several hours after it is 100% and I've never had a problem. I think that all battery mfgs. typically direct users to stop charging when it is full as a precaution.
