If I use the charger that came with the M4 to charge its included battery, how long should I charge it for?

About 4 hours, do NOT leave gun unattended or on or near flammable surface (carpet, curtains and so on). And most importantly out of the reach of young children !

Most of the chargers that come with the rifle are standard chargers,which means about 4 hours to charge. I would recommend a charger called a quick charger or smart charger they will cut the time of the charge to 45 minutes to an hour and 20 minutes. They range in price from 30.00 to 125.00 dollars , well worth it. Good luck (USMC) HOORAH !!

If the battery is seated properly it should provide at least 3 hours of charge upon arrival. This is a replacement part so it may need some manipulation to seat it otherwise the problem may be in the other portion of charging assembly as suggested above.

With the regular charger,a couple hours. Best to get an additional battery to switch out!

Let it charge for 8 to 12 hours. It charges slowat first this helps the battery live longer. you want long term battery health let it charge 100 percent. Then it should be good. I love mine!

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 have only used the charger occasionally. I have found that my Maha MH-C9000 gives the most complete charge. At times charges a little more that the rating of the battery or only slightly less. It will take a 2000 rated battery that only holds 300 or 350 and cycle it until it is accepting 1875 to 1975 may. With the more simple chargers it is hard to know to what level they have been charged. I would read reviews from people that have used it more than I have. Hope that helps some.

I usually charge it overnight, then turn it the opposite way in the charger until I need to use it. These batteries hold a charge a very long time. Depending on how long I use it on a given day determines if I charge it that day or not. If I use it for just a couple of screws or drill o few holes, then I wont bother charging it that day. If I use it a lot in one day then I will usually charge it overnight and then the next day turn it backwards in the charger. I know it says they won't overcharge but you don't need to put an extra charge cycle on the battery if it's not necessary. I hope this helps.

I used an external battery charger and I also recommend getting your own AAA batteries. The ones I got are 900mAh and last for a very long time.

Yes, this is a complete kit you just have to unpack, put batteries in the controller and charge the included battery that comes with the kit. The battery is quite good, but you should plan to get an upgraded charger, because the one that comes with the kit takes a long time, like 14 hours, to charge the included battery. However, an upgraded charger will only take a couple hours (if that) and is as low as $50 to $80, so it's a good thing to buy.

R Yako, HI!! Did you ever find out if this battery would work with the M41? Your help is appreciated. Thanks!!

That is a nimh battery and what you get in the kit is a trickle charger. In general a battery that size will take about 4 to six hours. i beleive it is a 3000mah compasity battery which is low by today hobby grade standards and will more than likely only take he 4 hours. being an nimh battery run it dead as possible the first few times and then you will notice the run times getting longer.

I only have one set of 1200ma batteries. I now only purchase the 2000ma size. But to answer your question, I believe the charge time depends upon how discharged they are but normally it takes me about 3-4 hours. I just plug them into the wall and go on with my computer work and when I stop for a break they are usually done charging. The 2000 ma ones are ~67% more capacity so get those if is convenient. Not much extra cost either. Hope this helps...

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)

That depends somewhat on the charger. I have a very compact Energizer charger (#CHDC8) that will charge 4 AA's in about two hours. Some quick chargers are faster, but I've been told fast charging is not good for the batteries.

And to answer the charge question they take 4+ hours or so to charge with this charger (which wasn't a great charger) I now use an efest ELUC charger it was $35 and it charges a standard 18650 in about 40 min to an hour

The light turns green when is done, while it is red when charging. To fully charge the two batteries that comes with the pack you will need approximately 4 to 5 hours. If you add the battery that comes with your camera you will need about 6 to 7 hours to charge all of them but you will have your machine shooting for thousands of photos .
