How long does it take to charge the battery

It takes 3 to 4 hours to charge it up, but it's worth every dollar I spent on it. Awesome little drill!

14 hours. This is what manual says, and even though they err on the side on caution, I think it's at least 10 hours from zero to full. After 3-4 hours it will charge by 30-40%, accordingly. The charger is of the size of wall wart for a cell phone, very low current, so it's charging very slowly. This is the biggest problem with this drill - you can't use it twice on the same day.

I charge my for a minimum of 3 hrs. For a fairly inexpensive unit, it is fairly strong and the battery lasts longer than my more expensive Black and Deckers.

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.

It takes a couple of hours, I think, if the battery is empty. I've since bought a second battery for mine so I could do double the work withoutwaiting if I feel like it. Charge them both at night for next time. Still love it!

Hi... It takes up to 30 minutes when I use the discharge/charge sequence. Amazing battery.

Put the battery in the charger. Usually get some type of indicator light that it connected and charging. It seems like the batteries take 5 hours to fully charge.

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.

It usually takes around five to ten hours depending on the device that you are trying to charge.

It takes very little time to charge, maybe an hour. I can definitely say not more than 2. I haven't timed it yet. I just know it's pretty quickly. It certainly charges faster than my old rechargeable batteries LOL

I'm sorry, I did not keep track of how long it took to charge; I just did them overnight. Once it's charged, according to the camera readout, it is good for more than 6 hours of running. The two batteries should be good for most conceivable situations. I have pretty much stopped using the charger that comes with the camera.

In my experience it can take anywhere from 1-6 hours. I have several things I use this type of battery and am not sure what batteries came with this light. The charge time will depend on the capacity of the battery (higher mAh will take longer), how much it has been discharged, and condition of the battery. As a battery ages it takes longer to charge. Completely discharging the battery before recharging will also reduce battery life. Sorry I've gone a bit long, you can go to batteryuniversity.com to learn about all batteries.

I have never actually timed it I just charge it over night and in the morning it is good to go. It takes longer than charging your phone through the wall charger. If I had to guess it probably takes about five hours.

I haven't actually timed it but I guess it takes between 2 to 3 hours. It depends on if you are using it while charging.

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.

It would take about 5 hours to charge battery. After charging it would work for about 5000 pictures--1/2 infrared and 1/2 daylight

My husband said about 4 hours. Make sure you purchase the charger thou. I didn't, just got the battery to go along with it and then had to order the charger separate. My error in not paying attention to what he needed. He loves it thou.

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 normally charge it overnight, but if I had to guess, it's about 3-5 hours. However, the length of it being able to charge other things far surpasses three hours.
