I think I let it charge overnight. It lasts a really long time. Glad I purchased it.

About 2 1/2 hours charging time. The battery should be good for100-200 shots depending on the pixel density. Only good for about 10 min of movie.

Your in luck as I happen to work for Stanley Black and Decker. If you started at 12.8VDC you already had a partial charge. 6 hours to top off the battery is a reasonable expectation. For a fully discharged unit (~12.2V) charging a minimum of 12 hours is recommended. This unit uses polymer lithium cells that dump their energy extrememly fast. Its the only reason this thing works at all. It is meant to assist a weak battery not jump a dead one!

I had the battery about 14 months. It is one of two that came with a combi drill so it gets used every other time. I am using hole saws and drills most of the time. I use the drill about 2 hours a week so I suppose the battery gets charged once a fortnight. I just stopped charging.

I can't find it in the manual but I would charge it for a couple of hours first thingout of the box. That's what I did.

Let it charge for 8 hours before first use. I watched about 3 movies and still didn't drain the battery

A 'fairly' dead battery should charge up in about 24 - 36 hours. If the battery has access ports, you might want to check the water level (DISTILLED water only). If it is low in any of the chambers, then you would fill that chamber with distilled water up to the bottom of a concave meniscus level at the markers. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meniscus ) If there are NO access ports on the battery (sealed) and the light does not change to green after about 48 hours, you might think about getting a new battery. Make sure that the terminals are clean and that the connections to the charger and to the battery are solid. A 'fairly' dead battery should charge up in about 24 - 36 hours.

From my experience I wouldn't attempt to go over an hour. I had three batteries charged and ready at all times. When one would get low I would change it and put the used one on the charger. If you are shooting continuously go AC if you can't use AC keep an eye on your battery level. I hope this is helpful.

My SX280HS camera is not defective, and so I answer the low battery indication from that format. On videos - if you are running the zoom full range and frequently - you will get the low battery indication sooner than if it is allowed to remain at a fixed position. My battery of choice is the NB-6L that has 1600 mAh, vs a lower rating. In shooting videos at HD 1920 x 1080, and moving the zoom frequently - I can get about five minutes before the battery just stops. The low battery indication comes on around 3 to 4 minutes. I carry lots of batteries, taking care to keep them warm.

I did not either but I have similar units. The first time takes about 12 hrs, then just go by the light on the transformer. Red charging, Green charged.

Be sure to follow the instructions in the manual re: first charge of the battery-- realize that your laptop will be off-use for 24 hrs. I have found that how long a charge lasts depends on what I an doing online; e.g., if I have been viewing a lot of video, charge goes faster. I mostly monitor by mousing over the power icon. Be sure to go down to 11% (ck manual) at least once/week for about 4x, as directed in manual, to extend battery's lifespan. Hope this helps. BTW: Anker's cust service is great too.

It really depends on the charger, but using the BCG34HRE4KN with the full cycle turned on usually takes 12 hours for me (this feature will completely drain the batteries before start charging).

It needs to be charged a full 24 hours when you first get it. If you charge it less than that the first time, the charges won't last as long. A battery can have a memory. If you charge it a short time, you will only be able to use it for short times. Be patient and charge it for 24 hours first, after that keep it in the stand and it will stay charged. In my kit there's a bright yellow taped instruction on the box that held the charging base where it says to charge it a full 24 hours before using the first time or the warranty is void.

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

Before the first use it needs to charge for approximately 48 hours to prime the battery for future use. After the initial charge plug it in over night and it is ready in the morning; usually 6 to 8 hours. It has indicator lights that will let you know when it is fully charged. When all three lights are illuminated it has a complete charge.
