5 hours. I got it for my 6yr old daughter that wanted to accompany me when I run my Traxxas truck. So you do have to plan ahead for the five hr charge. The car is neat, fun for her and she doesn't seem to mind that it only runs for about 15 minutes.

I got it for my grandson and it broke. Amazon told me to return it and sent me the proper papers and return stuff. But I NEVER GOT MY MONEY BACK.

Initially it says to charge it for 4hrs then I think it takes less time after the first few charges.

It's like any rechargeable battery.... It will need several hours to charge the first time.

The first charge can take up to 9 hours. I use an Anker intelligent charger which charges my mobile electronics very fast and I think it took ~5 hours for my first charge.

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

i think the first time to charge was 2 hours, but we don't use it everyday, only every 4 weeks( i got it for my son who is in the Army)so it seems to last a long time. love the convenience of charging in the computer!

Initial charge may take approximately 6 hours. After that approximately 3 hours for a normal charge cycle.

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.

About an hour or two. Sometimes it seemed longer to make sure you get a full 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.

I would charge it a good 24 hours before use. I am still using it on the first charge.

It does not take long. Charge an hour or so before using and leave the second battery charging while you use the first one and then just alternate use of each.

6-8 hours when fully depleted. Although the unit may arrive charged, we recommend charging for 8-hours to re-establish an initial base charge.

I charged mine for 12 hours the first time and mine worked perfectly. You might want to make sure the battery connection is good.

I have charged it several times and found it charges rapidly. I did it the first time overnight so I don't know exactly how long. Other charges were completed in 1 to 2 hours.

First time was about 8 hours. The charge will last about 3 hours according to husband. Then you swap the low battery for the one that is charging. You always The second battery charging on the side of the unit. Hope that helps.
