How long does it take to charge the battery? (Debating buying a spare)
503923
90 minutes, the battery is good for about 20 minutes of quick, medium duty cutting
503924
~25min for 1.5 Amp/hr or 45 min for 3.0 amp/hr, one is twice as heavy/Longer lasting than the other.

I have not timed it, but I have not had my battery run out on me yet. Unless you have a great price on a second battery, why not give it a try with just the one and see if you in fact do not need the second.

THE REGULAR CHARGER TAKES A COUPLE OF HOURS AND CAUSED ME A TIME PROBLEM. I ordered a couple of new battery's and a new 30 min. charger and solved my time issue.That way i always have a charged spare plus one on the charger. Works out very well. thanks

The battery charges up fairly quickly. Probably from totally dead to fully charged in about 1 hour or so. Once charged, depending on the use (i.e. video, pictures, combination of both, viewing pics, etc), I went a full day without any issues. Safer to top it off at night so you'll not have to worry about it.

1) no. 2) I have used a battery pack and it charges the camera's battery just fine 1-4 hours and during this downtime you cannot use the camera till it is finished charging. After my purchase I contacted the company and asked several questions also made a few recommendations as a customer that could make the camera more user friendly etc. No response! I am currently researching for another camera that will fit my needs and use this one as a backup or spare.

for the 18,000mAh it takes almost 24 hours (from empty to full). When I know I'm going for a trip, I plug it at 8PM (at this time, the battery is EMPTY totally)and it's usually finishes at around 8 AM (almost, sometimes half an hour more is needed)

I bought my battery as a replacement and I charge it about about every four days. I haven't had a battery strictly as a backup

It can take between one and a half to two hours to charge the battery if charged when about 15% of the charge remains. I usually do not let mine completely run out but based on the time it takes for 85% of the battery to charge, I would estimate two hours and twenty minutes to two and a half hours for a full charge.

A few hours (I haven't clocked it), I think. I've watched a movie and then a tv show afterward. The cool thing is that you can plug it in to charge while you're using it, so that works great!

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 takes about 2 hours to fully charge, and Min talk time is 10 hours. it's has a huge capacity rechargeable battery 250mAh.

I'll guess a few hours, if you use it a lot. I keep mine sitting in the charger all the time, though.

5 to 6 hours which is not bad considering, another back up battery its very helpful for a maximum user. I love it . and plus if you plan to go that route for a spare battery you van also have that chargin, while you connect your USB charger to just charge it from your pone as well come with a built in USB charging port.

First, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised how long the battery lasts, and how much trimming you can do on one charge. Realistically, you'll need a rest yourself after trimming a full battery's worth. That said, in about 30 minutes you'll be ready to go again with a near full charge.

Although I have only had to use it a couple times I would say it takes around 30 minutes to charge a dead battery.

According to my wife and son, it takes 5-6 hours to charge the battery, and he gets about 1.5-2 hours of run-time out of a charge.

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.
