it comes with 2 batteries. I switch them out and charge the one over night, but I;m sure it only needs to charge for a few hours to be at full charge

I don't recall seeing instructions on how long, but i left it charging about 3 hours. Both batteries are working fine!

I am getting about 10-12 minutes per battery, but I charge them and then they sit for a week. You may get more time if you charge the batteries 12-24 hours before using them. Also keep them in the house if you live in a hot climate. Storage temperature may affect battery life. B&D; also claims the batteries reach full potential after 5-6 charges, but there is no empirical evidence of that.

I believe the instructions said that AAA batteries take six hours for a full charge and AA take seven hours. I put mine in the charger after each days' use. It takes about three hours to top them off.

if you got the batteries and charger from china then its about a two hour charge. take them off the charger when done, dont let them stay on.

It only takes about a hour to charge my iPhone, so I would say two to three hours to charge a battery pack depending on the size of the battery's.

I never timed it exactly but i'd say for just two batteries it takes about three, maybe four, but i doubt it really. and for all four it does take a long time I think I had it charging over night honestly. I typically do them two at a time since i use them for my Xbox one controller. Hope that helps.

9 to 10 hours depending on setting and batteries used. I usually get at least 9 hours using rechargeable batteries.

I charge it overnight. Normally when the kids are done playing by morning its fully charged. 8 hrs normally it last my kids 2to 3 days depending on how much they played with them.

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 am sorry, but I do not know the answer to this question. I normally put them on the charger and put other batteries in the unit the batteries were removed from. I put the discharged batteries in my charger, two or four at a time, plug it in and go about my activities. When they are charged the charger light turns off and I remove the charged batteries when I notice they are charged. Usually it will be the next morning or in the evening. It is not uncommon for batteries to be in the charger for eight to 12 hours. Tom Kerr

probably a couple of hours if substantially discharged. The batteries I'm charging are not totally discharged - I just top them off every couple of weeks to keep them fully charged and it takes 15 - 30 min.

I followed the instructions that came with the kit and charged batteries for about 18 hours. They took the charge and have been working good for several weeks now with occasional recharging.

Make sure you wait 15 minutes after using your battery before you charge it. If you charge it right after you use it they won't last long. You have to let them cool down.

They aren't quick-charge batteries, but the charge will stay a long time, unlike nicads. Charge time varies, but it's around 8 hours if they are mostly depleted. There are blinking lights when you start charging, then go solid when finished. Each battery is charged individually so one could be done and another still blinking and charging.

I charge my batteries for about 8 hours in the night. I use the camera for charge and I buy an external charger too. The battery life is around 2.5-3.0 hours. My memory card is for 6 hours, because this I buy another 2 batteries.

Sometimes it takes 12 hours, I bought 2 battery packs, They last me about a week of riding for about 40 minutes every morning before I have to change. I leave them plugged in to the light so there is always a bit of current draw even with the light off. I have ridden for > 3 hours on a charge and still used it the next day. I really like this unit even if it does take 12 hours to charge.
