how long will the battery last until it needs to be charged?

That's going to depend on many factors... heat, charge/discharge cycles, and the construction of the battery itself. Unfortunately, for us, this battery only lasted two months and has now failed. Luckily, Verizon replaced it (free) and we're "testing" the charger. If the new Verizon battery lasts more than a couple of months, this UB1280 will have failed and we'll update our review.

Depends on many factors. However, SLA batteries should be charged after they are used since sulfation occurs on the plates of the batteries when they are in a discharged state.

I normally charge it overnight so I'm not sure exactly how many hours it takes to give it a full charge. I'd guess about 4 hours, but that's just a guess.

Don't know the exact time but not really long maybe a couple of hours. The first time I think its longer so it gets a good charge.

Hi Barbara, Yes, it will have somewhat of a charge, but not fully. You will need to let it charge for at least 8 hours. After that, you will be good to good. Please note: You will need to charge it one a month for only 1 to 2 hours. It's to keep it fully charged. I bought it for my wife and she lives the since of security it gives, just knowing it there. By the way; the Red Light will never go out. The safety pin shuts it off. Its a safety pin. I really do hope this helps out. V R/ Dwayne

I always charge it a full day before using it, so I'm not exactly sure. The charge lasts for my full yard....a small row home sized yard....front and back

The instructions tell you how long to charge it initially. I've only recharged it once since then.

Yes, the charge is supposed to last for 15 hours. I find that it lasts for about 6-7 hours.

Perhaps an hour when I got it to charge it to a full charge and the battery last about 6 hours until next charge.

I didn't charge mine before use. Upon receiving my battery it had about 60% charge. To fully charge the battery takes approximately 2 hrs.

It should last up to ten days...if you have a computer, it will charge off the computer battery with the little gray cord

Probably around six or so hours. If the battery is not fully discharged it could be less. Will stop blinking when charged. It does not hurt to leave it it the charger like older batteries. If the battery is hot when put into the charger a red light will come on. Will not start charging until the battery cools some

If the battery is seated properly it should provide at least 3 hours of charge upon arrival. This is a replacement part so it may need some manipulation to seat it otherwise the problem may be in the other portion of charging assembly as suggested above.

It will last for quite a while before you use it as it is basically just a battery itself. It is only enough to charge a phone once though before it needs recharged itself.

I charged mine for about 4 hours before I used it. The battery loses juice as it sits. So only charge it before you use it.

If I remember the original instructions, anywhere from 4 to 8 hours... typically I charge it the night before I mow and it lasts.

it depends on the charge of the battery, but usually a fully charge will last 2 hours.

Tough to say. My old battery had to be charged daily and since I got this one I only have to plug it in every 4 or 5 days. One of the keys is to let it discharge down to 15% or so before recharging it.
