How long does it take to charge the battery?

It depends on the state of discharge. If completely dead, it takes at least three hours.

There is no light to designate when fully charged- I usually leave it 3 or 4 hours and it seems to be adequately charged to drive a lot of screws. I actually have 2 of these- even the one 4 or 5 years old still holds enough charge for up to 100 long decking screws and the new one does more. I found the new drill/battery cost the same as the replacement battery alone.

This is not a quick charge battery. It takes a few hours for a complete full charge. By charging slower it seems to hold a charge much longer than the quick charge batteries. I prefer to slow charge for that reason. Holds charge much longer than my DeWalt and Porter Cable drills. The only negative I can say about this drill is the chuck does not hold a drill bit very well. In fact not good at all. Consider the Porter Cable also which I like much better than my DeWalt.

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.

If the battery is 1/4 full, and if you charge it at rate of 2.2 amps, it will take roughly 40 to 45 minutes.

it took about 2 hours to charge. the battery lasted about 1 1/2 hours. I really did not see much difference in either the charging or the battery life than the original canon battery that I have.

About 8-10 minutes, in my experience. Takes about an hour to charge the battery up again.

I found the charging time to be about a 1.5 to 2 hours. There is a red/orange light that illuminates when you first plug it in. It will go out when it is fully charged.

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.

None of these answers look right to me.. From the manual: "It takes at least 24 hours to fully charge the battery". From the quick start guide: "Before you start, charge for 2 hours minimum". Basically: 24 hours for a full charge. If you can't wait to use it, make sure you charge for 2 hours before using it the first time.

It depends on how low the battery level is. If you are charging it from 0 then it will take about 1.5-2 hours.

It is pretty long. I used the camera for several hours without recharging. It says 180 minutes when fully charged, but I am not sure it is actually that long. I am sure it gives me about two hours and I haven't run the battery completely dead yet.

The battery can be removed from the bicycle and charged without being attached to the bike. It can take from 4 to 8 hours to fully charge the battery, the incremental progress is not known or has yet to be determined. I hook my battery up to the charger every other night for about 6 hours; owners manual says you should never charge it longer than 18 hours continuously.

I get about an hour to hour and a half on the standard battery. You can charge with an external charger. I usually do so.

not very long at all..I only charged it about 2 hours and it was ready to go.

Using a 1A charger, it took me about 7 hours to charge from empty. Keep in mind that when the battery is very low or near full capacity, the charging rate is less than 1A due to the design of lithium batteries.

Although I never timmed the charging of the Battery, I do know it doen't take all night. I would guess about 5 or 6 hours

Approximately 7 minutes. It's a small battery but it also doesn't take too long to recharge.

It depends on your charging method. A few hours via AC power with a depleted battery. Crank for two minutes, rest for a minute, and repeat.
