What is the initial charging time right out of the box?

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.

The initial charge is 6-8 hours. how long mine took after that they charge full with in 1-2 hours lasts me like 3/4 of the day

Maybe 20 hours for the initial charging. Try charging and discharging several cycles. Mine only takes 3-4 hours to take it from 25% to full charge. I'm using a Toshiba Satellite Laptop. Good Luck.

Charge the unit for a few hours then hit the power button- 1st charge takes some time

I own 2 e280s, one of them since last July. I have found that it takes about 3 1/4 hours to charge fully. However I use a seperate charger to charge mine. I do not charge from my computer. I get between 15-22 hours on a charge.

Less then an hour. However, I never stood there to check for every 5 minutes to know exactly, but when I am checking back in an hour the charge is completed. I am actually very pleased with this. I got a second battery also that I am charging when the one in the camera is toward its end...

I can't say I have a solid idea about the charge time, but it doesn't take long. I plugged it in at about 5% battery before a softball game and by the time I got home about 2 hours later it was fully charged.

Mine turned on right away. Try to give it 2 hours of charging. Otherwise you've got a defected one.

I used an external charger and left it charging overnight so I'm not certain how long it actually took. I was surprised that it came to me fully discharged but after that initial charge it's been working normally.

Mr. Huffine's response is correct..............solid red until charged. Charging may take as long as 48 hrs.

My experience thus far is 3 hour charge capacity. I have no complaints about the quality aspects for the price that I paid. Hope this hels

From what I read it takes about 4 full hours... another way to tell if unit is fully charged is to look at light on the plug. When you first plug charger in it will turn from green to red, then will be green after it is fully charged. Just make sure to do as the instructions say and not leave charger plugged in for more than 24 hours.

From low battery reminder to fully charged, I believe it's about an hour and a half. Red LEDs light up in the dock while charging, then go back to blue once complete. The LEDs are bright enough, I can see the status from across the room.

Regina, that's a good question. The info sheet that came with the device claimed I think 150 hrs. of continuous use, which seemed like a misprint to me. When I plug the charger in the blue light comes on but goes out within about 5 minutes, which may mean it's charged. I think I'll wait until it runs out to learn the answer as I can always go back to the onscreen keyboard while it charges. You might ask someone who's owned it longer.Charles

No idea, fully charged I can use for 5 hrs or so before plugging in, hope that helps

If you plug it into a computer that is on, not in sleep mode, it should start charging right away. No tricks.

Its partially true. Mine takes around a little under 3 hours. For me that's ok since I have mine set aside the bed. At night I just drop it on the charger and I know I got it right when the green light comes on. Before I struggled trying to plug it in, especially when I was lying down and the light was off...lol
