How long does it take for a car to charge?

It takes no more than 10-15 minutes for us, if it took longer, we changed the battery in the charger

Mr. Huffine's response is correct..............solid red until charged. Charging may take as long as 48 hrs.

I initially charged my battery once, for a full day. After that a normal charge takes 3-4 hours.

The charge depends on how hard you run the car. My 12 old son runs it pretty hard continuously and the charge last 20 to 30 minute. To charge it up again takes a few hours. He has two batteries for his.

I'm charging a Volt with mine, but I find my car recharges in less than four hours. That places about 2.5 KWH into the battery per hour.

For me it took about 2-3 hours. The first full charge may take a bit longer. Also depends on your charger, and the settings at which you charge your battery.

Unless it is defective, it should charge a dead car battery within milliseconds of being connected! You could put an ammeter in the charging circuit and it should indicate 1.5 amps ("+ or - small measurement error") current flow almost instantaneously after turning it on. To FULLY charge a 60 amp-hour capacity battery that is commencing from a near-fully-discharged state (adding in something like a 50% factor for heat loss and other inefficiencies), it would take:(60 amp-hours) / (1.5 amp) = 40 hours... Adding the 50% 'fudge factor', take you up to about 60 hours (about 2.5 days). Unless it is defective, it should charge a dead car battery within milliseconds of being connected!

If you charge from your computer USB, it is about 24 hours. From most Apple Computers it's only 18 hours and from a more Powerful Tablet Charger or Home-Wall Charger it takes around 12-15 hours. The Powerbank 15000 has a huge battery and that takes it's time.

If the Leaf computer estimates a low range such as 15km remaining then it takes about 4 to 5 hours to bring it back to 100% charge. We charge at night when the electricity is cheaper. We often charge to 80% since this will extend the life of the battery. Good luck and consider the AeroVironment EV charger for purchase...it is a very good unit! Cheers Bill

With the factory charger, I usually charge it for 6-8 hours. Your best bet is to buy a speed charger and a better battery

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.

It takes about 30 minutes to charge. It will usually stay charges for around four hours.

What does "burns" mean? I charge my Leaf with standard usage (10-80%) in 3 to 4 hours. If you are looking for usage costs, look at your local power bill and then what your car can take over the time charged. We have low cost power in our area and it works out at about $0.25 per hour or about $1.00 for a charge up to 80%. How that is what you are looking for...

I've only used the charger once a couple weeks ago and did not time it. However, I think it took around two hours to charge the battery that came with the camera.

I have charged it several times and found it charges rapidly. I did it the first time overnight so I don't know exactly how long. Other charges were completed in 1 to 2 hours.

About an hour or two. Sometimes it seemed longer to make sure you get a full charge.

A brand new battery can take up to 3 hours to fully charge. After the battery has been charged and depleted to under 5% about ten times, the charge that is held takes about 2 - 2.5 hours to fully charge.
