About how long does it take to recharge this battery? I'm trying to decide whether to purchase an additional charger.

I bought 4 of this and one Ultra High Capacity NP-F770 Lithium-Ion (4600 mAh) Battery -Rechargeable replacement for Sony NP-F770 Battery , for extra duration, I like to have all batteries recharged in little time so I use 2 chargers. And i have all the power I need in less than 3 hours . Good batteries.

It does not take long. Charge an hour or so before using and leave the second battery charging while you use the first one and then just alternate use of each.

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

I have used my battery for several shorter trips lasting about 10-15 minutes each and have not seen any reduction or a need to recharge. I would say I have about 90 minutes so far on a charge.

I have only had it a short time but if it gets a full 7 hour initial charge then run it down, which takes about 15 to 20 minutes, then re charge mine runs at least 30 minutes now and should go longer as the recharge process is repeated. I hope this was helpful

No. It should take about double the time than the original battery. Are you using the original charger? Some chargers deliver very low current so it takes longer to charge.

Yea, it takes about 46 to 62min for my 3cell battery to be fully charged. So it's pretty fast in charging

THE REGULAR CHARGER TAKES A COUPLE OF HOURS AND CAUSED ME A TIME PROBLEM. I ordered a couple of new battery's and a new 30 min. charger and solved my time issue.That way i always have a charged spare plus one on the charger. Works out very well. thanks

About 4 hours, deppends of the charger. Note than the battery doesn't include a charger, you should use yours.

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 measured around 12 hours with mine. Just be advised that it takes around 2 - 3 hours to get a full charge

Hello M. Kirk, honestly I haven't really paid attention to the life of this charged battery but I do know that I'm getting at least 3 hrs. and probably closer to 4 hrs. out of a charge. --A.W.

It can take 5-24 hours of initial charge time for these (depending on how big the battery is) and the manual for the unit I have says "for best performance, recharge at least every 3 months or after each use." The recharge time after that first one depends on how long it's been and how drained the battery is possibly talking another 24 hours.

Mine had a partial charge so I can't be sure, but I think about 4 hrs to fully charge.

Typically with lots of use it generally lasts 1-2 hours depending on use and takes approximately 3 hours for the battery to charge up to full capacity again. I hope this helps with your decision.

Now that I have used it for awhile I can answer that it can take a bit over 24 hours to recharge when you have received the low battery warning. I let mine charge overnight, use it in the morning and then put it back on the charger. By evening it is fully charged.

A fully discharged battery will typically take between 20-30 min to recharge fully in my experience. Longer if the battery is hot when it is placed on the charger.
