The Strike Master Ice Augers Big Volt Electric Auger, 10 1/4-Inch doesn't have its own battery. It uses a cable to hook up to an external battery. You will need to have a RV deep cycle battery or car battery to run it with. I just hook it up to my truck's battery (with vehicle running) once I have my fish house set in place.

Not good. It drains really quick depending on what you are doing. A full charge would last about 1 to 2 hours. However I have it plugged in all the time so it is not a problem for me.

Brandy, It takes maybe 30-60 mins to fully charge. It died on me the other day, so I just charged it for about 10 mins, just to be able to finish my other leg, and it did great. No, you can't use it while it's plugged in.

Do you mean how long does it take to charge? But the hours it last is until you unplug it.

I don't remember how long it took to charge but you can use it while plugged in since it is battery or direct current. I stopped using mine since it did not work properly.

It takes like 3 hours to fully charge. A flashing light indicates that its charging. A solid light means its fully charged.

I think it takes about an hour to charge. The red light goes off when the unit is fully charged.

Initially I charged it for 4 hours. That's supposed to last for 2 weeks or longer, as I was informed; however I have to charge it regularly for at least 2 hours.

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

I would recommend charging it for between 3-4 hours. There should be a blue indicator light on the side where the power button is that may turn off when its fully charged(if the device is already powered down)

When I first received mine, it took about 20 minutes to an hour to get a full charge. By the time I finally just threw it out (less than a year later) I would leave it plugged in all day and get about 30 seconds of use.

The unit comes with a cord that you plug in to charge it. There are instructions that tell you how to do so. There is also an indicator light on the unit to let you know when it is fully charged.

Hi Robert, I don't remember exactly how long it took to charge, but I have had mine for over a year now and haven't had to recharge yet. I don't use it a lot, but it's ready when I need it.

You charge it by plugging into your computer. There is no battery to change. Mine lasts a LONG time before needing to charge and it doesn't seem to take very long to get fully charged. So if yours doesn't work after charging a few hours then it is defective.

It probably took about two hours for the battery to fully charge. I have used it off-and-on for maybe an hour a night for two weeks. The battery is still going strong. The unit goes to sleep after 15 minutes of non-use to save battery. Hope that helps.

You can keep it plugged in all the time and you won't damage it. I think it takes at least 20 hours to fully charge it, after it's been totally drained of it's power.

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.
