How long to charge on dc?

The amount of time to charge the Power Monkey depends on how many bars remain. This is not something I track because I just plug it in and let it run just the same as I would for my cell phone. With that in mind, my Power Monkey was down by 2 or 3 bars. It took around 2 hours to fully charge it but that's just an estimate because I was not closely monitoring it. I use my Power Monkey mostly for emergencies when I lose power or traveling on the road. It is very dependable and keeps my electronics fully charged. It was an excellent investment for how I use it.

8 to 10 hours. Did not charge on the solar panel at all. Two different units they shipped me. Terrible product. Carried it 500 miles on the Camino de Santiago for nothing.

I believe it is similar to the charge time for a cell phone or IPad...relatively fast and hard to say how long to charge in the sun.. I used it in the Montana summer and always had a charge.I used used mine last summer along with another (isound portable power 16,000 mAh) battery pack on a 7 day paddle trip.I could charge the power monkey then the extra battery Pack. This was good because I found myself charging other people's phones. By the way, I had to keep my IPad charged because I needed it for navigation on the river and a motorcycle trip afterwards.

Perhaps you could clarify your question. This is a Lithium Ion DC storage device which holds 9200 mAhrs of power. It normally charges from an AC wall socket at 120 /240 volts (8-10 hrs). It can also be charged by USB connection to a computer (14-20 hrs, depending on the type of USB (3.0 is faster than 2.5). It can also use an included 5w solar panel, which takes about 20 hrs. There's no magic here -- the more watts you put in, the faster it charges. Connecting it to a car's 12v jack via a USB adapter would take about 16 hrs to charge. Most importantly, though, as a Lithium ion device, it's designed to have power flowing in and out all the time. When hiking or camping, we just let it charge on the solar panel during daylight, whether it needs it or not.

A follow up question for DLightDesign.Com is, "How long does it take to charge a cell phone compared to 120 volt supply?"

In general, you can get an approximate time for charging anything from zero by dividing the mAh rating by 1000 and then dividing that by the amp rating of the charger. So in this case, you get 50,000/1000 = 50, which you then divide by the recommended 2A charger, and you get 25 hours. I'd add about 10% to cover efficiency losses, too. (This also means that using a 1A charger would require over two days to complete a charge.) Those who claim it can be charged in two hours are wrong. You'd need a 25A charger to do that, which don't exist for USB. You'd destroy the batteries anyway.

If you charge from your computer USB, it is about 24 hours. From most Apple Computers it's only 18 hours and from a more Powerful Tablet Charger or Home-Wall Charger it takes around 12-15 hours. The Powerbank 15000 has a huge battery and that takes it's time.

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...

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

you can get a run time of up to 40 minutes. charging takes approximately 12 hours.

30 or so minutes to charge. . With continuous use, it stays charged 4 or 5 hours. Actually I've never had them go dead on me if that means anything

Charging by electric outlet it takes about 2-3 hours. By Ian connection to computer about 4 hours. No idea on over charge.

Recharge the CP-ELS USB Portable charger overnight. It will last about a week on that charge.

it's different time and based at how long u charge them at station. at full charge it,s near 10-20 min. but manufacturer not installed uvf leds for fast charge, and u need near 30min to do it. wanna fast full glow, use UVF lamp

Yes you can but the owners manual makes the following statement when doing so.CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE WHEN CHARGING USING THE 12 VOLT DC METHOD:* Recharge using this method only when necessary. Frequent use the the 12 Volt DC charging method may shorten battery life.* Do not exceed 6 hours charging time using this method.

It depends on your charger. Charging with a Computer USB port it can take up to 5-6 hours and charging with a more powerful Wall Charger it should be around 3 hours.

I don't remember how long it took to charge but you can use it while plugged in since it is battery or direct current. I stopped using mine since it did not work properly.

I've never timed it, but it seems to be only a couple of hours to go from dead to full charge. Keep in mind this device can be used while charging which will likely slow the charge down.

Hmm good question. I'll have to pay attention today. I know it said around 7hrs so my son just charges it at nighttime mostly.

never timed it, but usually i charge at about 50-25% available power and seems like it takes several hours--It just leave it in charger in the AM and remove later in afternoon..Sorry not exact..
