It takes me thirty minutes to charge my iPhone 5. I misunderstood the question the first time.

On mine, a red light comes on when you plug it into computer and goes off when charged. Don't know how long for charging.

It takes less than 30 minutes to charge the battery from my computer. However, the cord sent to me doesn't fit my iPhone 5s so I can't use the gadget to charge. Another cock-up from the manufacturer!

It takes about 3-1/2 hours to fully recharge. Yes you can recharge it while using your device.

It depends on the device. My iPhone 4s took about a half hour to charge up. It was down to 50 percent. It charges at the equivalent rate of an a/c charger.

It has been charging 23 hours, still the lights are blinking.... Probably it is going to be over soon. I am now fully charging for the first timeUpdate! - it has just finished charging. SO, it took almost 24 hours to be fully charged for the first time.

Well I have an Iphone 5 and it charges in about 2 hours, from 5 % battery. Also, I have the Galaxy Note II, and it will charge very quickly, I have the extended battery on the Galaxy, and it will charge both phone complete and the backup reach only 50%.

I don't have an iPhone but as long as you have the correct adapter, it can charge it. I charge my iPad with it and my android phone and it works just fine.none of those are iPhone 5s though.

Depending on the phone u have (how old it is and how long your battary still lasts) it will charge it anywere from 50 to 70% when the case is new but over time (like expected for only being $10) it starts to charge your phone left. Also it can take up to 5 or 6 hours to get a complete charge. The first one i got didnt work so the sent me a new one so let them know if something's wrong

I think it takes about 3 hours to charge fully... or at least that's what I always do. I use the speaker part sometimes to hook up my mp3 player, and when I do that I have it plugged in. It is not the best quality for this though.

It comes with a small USB charging cord. It plugs into it next to where you would plug the USB cable in for charing your phone. I charge it through may laptop, or plug it into the wall using the square for my iPhone. It usually will take a few hours for a full charge (light turns green when complete).

The unit is charged by using a micro USB cable connected to a wall outlet. This item includes the cable with the purchase. I myself have several micro USB cables lying around that I can use to charge it as well. In my opinion, it does take a while to charge up. Maybe 3-4 hours from dead battery. But I can charge my iPhone 4 or 5 times from the battery pack before depleting it. A fair trade off in my mind.

Then again, maybe your question is how long does it take to charge the charger itself? If I remember correctly when I first got it, I plugged it in on the house current and I believe it took a few hours to completely charge. Since then I have used it on my phone several times and maybe once on the kindle and it still has some juice in it. I'm not going to recharge it until it is depleted all the way. It is a little heavy to carry in your pocket but it sure can save you if you need it. I very happy with it.

How long do you have to charge this product? When I first got it all the blue bars were flashing does the flashing stop when it is fully charged and how long does it take to charge your phone?

To charge fully, the same as your phone, maybe 3 hours max... depends on how much you use too.

This device charges my iPhone 4S twice. It doesn't charge it fully to 100% twice. It charges quickly from low to 95%, but after that point, the pace of charging seems to slow way down from 95% to 100%. Not sure if this is an issue with the device or the iPhone, but I don't need that last 5% anyway. This device works pretty well for its size and I would recommend it.

Hmm - I don't know that I've ever really checked the amount of time it takes to go from completely dead to a full charge. I normally just plug it in to an outlet and leave it for an hour or two and then it's good to go. You can also use the USB to charge it on your computer - which is nice. It's really a nice little charger - I use it all the time on trips, or if I know I'm going to be away from the house all day I'll keep it in my pocket just as a safety measure in case my phone battery dies.

I don't know how long it takes to charge the battery, as he started charging it at work and finished charging it at home after, but I do know with the portable battery fully charged it only charged his iPhone 4S to 86%. I don't know if that helps, but we have only ever owned iPhones and a blackberry.

Plug the USB part into the wall connector and the other end into the I connect. Once you plug it in a red light turns on that's how you know it's charging, when the red light turns off that means it's fully charged, it usually takes about 4+ hours to fully charge. When you plug the pack to your phone or dead device the light turns blue letting you know it's charging your device.
