How long does it take for this battery to fully charge? Mine is still dead and I put it in a week ago.

I had mine came charged and after connection to security system it keeps recharging

Sounds like you got a DOA. Over nite should do it. Is the problem with the charger and not the battery?
1887738
No idea what you are asking. Mine was charged when I received it. I used it for my security alarm system and it worked out of the box

Mine arrived charged and has operated without incident since I installed it. Sounds like you may have a charger issue.

It was charged up fairly quickly, within couple hours. Before I got this one, I bought a battery from Radio Shack, with a slightly different current rating, and that one never charged up, just like what you said! You may want to check the current and other spec, to make sure everything is compatible.

I am the same as the others, mine came charged. I installed it several weeks ago and it works. Maybe you should check with the company for a replacement. Good luck.

I got a similar unit recently and when I plugged it in, it too showed 100% charged. However, I unplugged the charger and checked the battery voltage which instantly dropped to under 6V. So that told me that the battery wasn't accepting a charge and the "100%" reading was coming from the charger just while plugged in. So I left it plugged in and after an hour it did start accepting a charge and the reading dropped to 60% or such. So it does take at least 12 hours, after that if it starts displaying 100% it probably is charged.

One full charge last about 3-4 hours game time for me. The battery does drain really fast. If I charged fully, it only takes about 3 days to be out of power. However, the real problem for me is that the battery is unable to hold any charge at all, after 3 weeks. I only charged it like 8 times. I had to return the product. Right now, I really wonder whether or not it's just me or others have the very same problem.

I'm sorry to hear that. Mine seems to be working fine. I've used mine for more than 6 minutes. Make sure it is fully charged before using it.

Haven't really timed it out from drained to full charge, but my best guess would be 30 minutes.... :-) hope this helps God Bless

Leave it in the charger as long as you want and it won't hurt the battery. It takes about 9 hours to fully charge. Therefore, I suggest you have two batteries.

I've never had mine actually die on me so I'm not sure what it takes to fully charge it. I use it and randomly charge it when I remember and never had any issues with it.

I am sorry, I did not keep track of it, I left it over night charging and I went to bed, next day it was fully charged , my best guess it takes at least 4 to 5 hours.

I have only had it a short time but if it gets a full 7 hour initial charge then run it down, which takes about 15 to 20 minutes, then re charge mine runs at least 30 minutes now and should go longer as the recharge process is repeated. I hope this was helpful

Your system should be charging it automatically. If you just now installed the battery, wait 24 hours and it should be fine. You may need to reset low battery warning. See your manual for instructions. If it has been installed since February and now is showing low battery , verify the main power source is turned on.

I only takes a couple of hours for mine to charge. Sounds like your charger or battery is faulty.

Seems a long time to fully charge. Has it always been 12 hours or less in the past?

I'm not sure how long it takes to fully charge; I've left it charging for up to two days and the charging light never shut off. My guess for how long actually it takes to charge is like half a day or something, but that's pure speculation. And to answer the other question: Yes, as long as you're reasonably careful.

I had mine sitting idle for about 6 months and then checked it and it was around a 50% charge. It didn't go dead or anything. And charging it took a couple hours if i remember right. But that was several years ago.

I'm not sure how Long mine takes to charge, all I know is I plug it in at night and the next day when I wake up it is charged I bought mine used and it works just fine . It doesn't hold a charge as long as I thought it would though and a new battery is pretty expensive

That is very normal. I have a different unit that puts out 1.25 Amps and it took 3 days for a partially charged battery. This one only puts out 800 milliamps (.8 Amps) so it could take many days for a full charge from discharged condition. Others are correct that this is designed to "maintain" a charge as opposed to actually charge a discharged battery, but if you are patient, it will charge too.

The instructions say 90 minutes but I reach a full charge in less time. I don't wait until it is totally run down though. I heard that running it fully down is not good for it. I've been totally satisfied with it.
