how long do you charge the battery for

I bought a trickle charger that automatically shuts off when fully charged so as not to overheat the battery. I never paid attention to how long it takes, but would recommend investing in such a charger to save the battery. The charger can be used for other batteries as well.

4 hours is the recommended time but if you but a smart charger it will shut off when the battery reaches full charge

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.

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

I charge it overnight. Normally when the kids are done playing by morning its fully charged. 8 hrs normally it last my kids 2to 3 days depending on how much they played with them.

I would charge it once a week. It could go longer than that without a charge. I would plug it into the electrical charger that came with it and let it charge over night and then put it back the next morning.

It is a rechargable battery that lasts about 2.5 hours. You can also plug it into a wall outlet and use it while it charges

The first time we charged the battery before we used it took 18 hours. After that we just charge it overnight. I think it was recommended to charge it 5-6 hours after using it.

You charge the camera, not just the battery, by attaching the USB cord to the camera at one end and the USB-AC Adapter at the other and then plugging the whole setup into the wall outlet. It can take up to 4 hours to charge. You can also charge it the same way through your computer but it can take much longer. The battery is wafer thin and tiny. Because it is so small it doesn't allow as many shots as say a DSLR battery or a larger compact camera. So I have purchased a backup battery at Amazon so I always have one with a full charge ready to shoot.

Depends on how long you have had the battery and if you have damaged it or properly installed it when building your model. However I would recommend charging it for 30minutes if its low on charge and an 1 or more if you almost depleted it. However please charge the battery in a lipo lithium bag, because in some cases during charging if overcharged or any thing goes wrong within the battery cells the battery itself may overheat and catch fire. Please never charge it without supervision always monitor it and unplug it if not in use.

Really I don't know. I usually charge it around 8 hours and after that, I use it. But I don't like at all.

I usually get a full charge on an empty battery in 4-6 hours. I have two so Irotate them.

It charges in as little as 20 minutes for light usage. It might take an hour or two for a full charge. I rarely run out of battery in an eight hour day but if I have constant usage, I might need to charge it after five or six hours. I just put it on my charger during my lunch hour and it is good for the rest of the day. I always leave it on the charger overnight and it normally lasts and eight hour day with no other charging necessary.

Yes, About 3 hours if it's totally dead and about 2 and a half if you want to just charge it. The battery itself lasts for about 2-3 days for me without having to plug up on full.

First drain the battery completely and then hook it up to the charger, or charging cable for 3 hours. (After the first charge you only need to charge it for up to 1 hour and 30 minutes 1 hour at least though)

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.

I would charge it for a full 15 hours before using it. They usually come partially charged, so doing a full charge is the best way to be sure.
