How long does it take to charge the battery?

I have not timed how long it takes to charge this battery, but can say that it is much better than average. The batteries held up well on a recent trip. I would not hesitate to purchase a set of these batteries.

They charge in the DSTE wall charger in 1 to 2 hours, depending on how flat they were discharged. They work well in the camera and last longer than the OEM battery. They also activate the camera battery meter display as they claim, so it is a very good choice for the Lumix vs. the OEM expensive spare battery. I just got back from a 2 week bus tour vacation and found if you use the camera all day, you really need 3 batteries. This worked out well to have the aftermarket pair and the OEM battery. I could charge two batteries in ht echarger in the span of time the camera charged the one still in the camera, if it was flat. The in-camera charging is pretty slow, like 3 to 4 hours if it is flat. topping a battery off in the camera was OK, an hour or so. This charger and batteries is a good product.

I get about an hour to hour and a half on the standard battery. You can charge with an external charger. I usually do so.

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 takes a long time, im not really sure because i usually charge it with the adapter it came with, but if i had to guess i would say around 16 hours or longer.

A brand new battery can take up to 3 hours to fully charge. After the battery has been charged and depleted to under 5% about ten times, the charge that is held takes about 2 - 2.5 hours to fully charge.

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.

Depends on how much is left in the battery. I just let it charge overnight, I have never timed the charge, but I would assume at least 4 hours from a full discharge.

Not very long. The charger has not been charging the battery properly. Lot of money for something that is not working right

I usually have to charge mine for about 2 hours give or take for it to get a full charge. It takes a while for me to charge up my phone once I attach it to my phone i have to leave it on there for a bit.

I don't know, there was some charge on the battery when I received it, and I plugged it in and left it, I don't think it took that long. Since then it didn't take long to top off the charge since I hadn't used it yet.

Not exactly sure how long it takes. It comes with two batteries so I can get a day out of the one while the other is charging and the next day I just switch batteries. The battery holds a charge for the entire day and then some.

To fully charge the battery when it has no battery left at all, it takes about 2 hours to get 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.

It depends on the charge status of the battery. Sometimes 5 minutes will do it.

It seems to take a while (hours) but I haven't timed it. My routine is to charge the battery after use or the night before I plan to use the hedger.

Not very long. It is always charged and ready for me as I replace it on the charger between uses.
