Mine. only took about 2 hours. I think It depends on how much of a charge it has when you get it.

The battery is small. It takes charge in an hour and lasts for 2 or 3 picture taking mode. If video, then 1/2 hr. It is a plug in, is flat, comes w/ charger.

Takes a very long time to charge, maybe 12 hours, but it lasts forever, it's worth it.

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

I don't know what kind of battery it has but it's a good one. You charge it with a cable with a typical micro USB end. The kind that charges most android phones and tablets. Plug it into a wall outlet or a USB port on a computer. Takes several hours to fully charge but it lasts.

It takes about 8-10 double A s. I have used it several nights and the batteries have been in for 8 months and they still charged. This is my second one I have owned and it is durable and the best call I have used . I really happy with it

It takes 4 AAs. I use rechargeable batteries with no ill effects, except they don't seem to last as long as regular batteries.

Not exactly sure how long it takes. It comes with two batteries so I can get a day out of the one while the other is charging and the next day I just switch batteries. The battery holds a charge for the entire day and then some.

You can charge it in about 2 or 3 hours. I found a trick that if you make sure it stays cool, it will charge quicker and discharge slower. Not a bad battery.

It has a solar battery that can be charged via sunlight or by hand winding. The battery should last about 10 hours when charged by sunlight or 10 minutes with 1 minute of hand winding.

Jason, I have had mine for a couple of months and the battery lasts 5 - 7 hours depending on what I am doing. This is a great machine and very fast.
