Mine came with at least a half charge. I plugged it in until the light turned green and then a couple more hours just to make sure. I'd say it takes about 6 hours to go from completely drained to completely charged.

Yes, once you recibe you charge until the light change to green, maybe 30 minutes

The first charge can take up to 9 hours. I use an Anker intelligent charger which charges my mobile electronics very fast and I think it took ~5 hours for my first charge.

Gave it an initial charge when first used and I ran it for about ten minutes. Only used one time and there seemed to have a lot of charge left. I did not run the charge completely out .

All rechargeable devices should be charged before first use, no matter if it is your mp3 player, your phone, etc. One never knows the charge level of their device right after purchase.

Initial charge may take approximately 6 hours. After that approximately 3 hours for a normal charge cycle.

hello if you would like to know which are good recommendations of charge for the first time, buy one because I'm doing the devoluvion since the device does not grab full charge, and I raises questions when making a new purchase

I threw mine out because I could never get it to charge again after the first time. The first time, you should charge it for about 12 hours.

Yes. The first charge takes 12 hrs, but I have used it several times and it is still working great. I think it says the charge last 3-3 1/2 hrs of continuous use. Haven't needed to recharge yet.

It has to be charged for at least 6 hours before using it the first time. It will get the job done, but definitely not the best quality.

The first time we charged the battery before we used it took 18 hours. After that we just charge it overnight. I think it was recommended to charge it 5-6 hours after using it.

They have an "initial" charge, but should recieve a full charge before actual use.

I've only charged it once after the initial charge, since I received it early in December. Of course we don't use it constantly.

I can't really say but overnight does the trick. It says to charge 14-16 hours first time, and overnight is always long enough when it gets low. With my brief daily trimming needs, a charge lasts really well.

I never charged mine when I first got it and after at least a month of using it during my college classes, I just had to charge it for the first time.

I charged it for an hour and a half the first time I charged the player, then an hour the next time, but the unit was not totally uncharged. The website instructions do not give specific charge times.

I charged mine the first time for 8 hours (overnight) and have had to charge it two other times in a four month period. How are you able to tell you have only 15%?
