About how long does it take to charge from a low/dead battery? (Say the original battery) Are the included batteries recommended to use vs. original?

In standbys or light use such as occasionally checking emails and answering phone calls the charge last me all day (14hrs). I get that with the original battery also. It is important to note that it took about 3 charging cycles to get this performance. Out of the box after original charge I only got 8 hrs, but in my case performance improved after more use. Heavy use gets me about 6-8 hrs depending on what I am doing.

I will be glad to help. You can use the VP130 battery charger that Amazon has. For the intial charge it takes 9 hrs recharge thereafter 6 to 9 hrs there is a stronger one a 160 but I have not seen them it will charge the battery in about 1 and 1/2 hours but I do not recommed this it is alot better to charge a battery slowly. I hope this helps

I usually plug it in overnight. I think it takes a few hours to charge. It depends on how low the battery is when you charge it.

I charge my original battery with no issue whatsoever, and no impact on battery performance. This does not charge a battery as fast as the original OEM charger, but you will not be disappointed. I keep 1 battery in the charger at all times, a fully charged spare battery in my bag, and of course, one in the phone. If I end up using my spare while I am out, when I get home I just swap them and have a fully charged battery ready to go.

Hi, I'm not sure but the battery is the easiest place to start. is it charged with the right charger ? It should take a while to charge the battery (generally a couple of hours) if it charges faster, it probably is the battery. you have to replace rechargeable batteries periodically.

1) no. 2) I have used a battery pack and it charges the camera's battery just fine 1-4 hours and during this downtime you cannot use the camera till it is finished charging. After my purchase I contacted the company and asked several questions also made a few recommendations as a customer that could make the camera more user friendly etc. No response! I am currently researching for another camera that will fit my needs and use this one as a backup or spare.

30 or so minutes to charge. . With continuous use, it stays charged 4 or 5 hours. Actually I've never had them go dead on me if that means anything

Mine seem to charge faster than the original battery as well. Try it and see how long it lasts in your camera. Mine seem to last quite a long time in my Lumix camera. If you're happy with the longevity of the charge, then I'd say it's perfect. For the price, you can't beat these.

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.

If the battery is seated properly it should provide at least 3 hours of charge upon arrival. This is a replacement part so it may need some manipulation to seat it otherwise the problem may be in the other portion of charging assembly as suggested above.

Weeks for sure, but the charge wears off quickly. I think there are better batteries & chargers out there. I've been thinking of replacing them with the most premium ones I can find, and getting a high quality charger...................

It didn't take that long to charge my new battery. I would think a few hours would be good. Maybe you got a new battery that was bad?? Hope this helps...

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.

If your battery is completely dead,charge it 6 hours.I found this to be adaquate.Problem is at full charge battery will only last 20-30 minutes.

This is "normal" but not necessarily "good." When you plug it in it charges for 10 hours and then shuts off. Period. If you put in fully charged batteries it will still charge them for 10 hours. If you plug it in and then add a battery 8 hours later, that battery will only charge for 2 hours before it shuts off. And as you have experienced, if you add a battery to it after 10 hours it will not do anything because it is already "done" charging, even if you plugged it in when there were no batteries in it at all.
