It seems like it charges up pretty fast. It last for all my trimming, havent had to wait on it. Yes I purchased an extra battery but really dont need it. Also another feature I didnt know when I ordered it is the handle swivels in different directions, is real convenient. love mine

It can take 5-24 hours of initial charge time for these (depending on how big the battery is) and the manual for the unit I have says "for best performance, recharge at least every 3 months or after each use." The recharge time after that first one depends on how long it's been and how drained the battery is possibly talking another 24 hours.

That's way too long. It seems to take longer than usual with some cheap batteries and with rechargeables. Even then, not 20 minutes. I'd double check that it's not the batteries if convenient and/or contact the seller/mfgr to see if they'll swap it for another one.

It comes with 2 battery's and each lasts about an hour and takes 30 minutes to charge. I tend to use one while the other is charging then switch them out.

When it is set to 12amp charge they say it takes 14 hours from empty. I rarely run my batteries to empty so I am able to recharge my batteries overnight - about 8-10 hours depending on how low my battery level is.

I have not purchased extra batteries. There hasn't been a need since the battery is rechargeable.

ON a full charge with a new battery, between 5 and 6 minutes. Takes about 20 minutes to recharge.

Manual says 45 minutes!!! According to the battery life. With no way to buy an extra battery.

probably a couple of hours if substantially discharged. The batteries I'm charging are not totally discharged - I just top them off every couple of weeks to keep them fully charged and it takes 15 - 30 min.

Now that I have used it for awhile I can answer that it can take a bit over 24 hours to recharge when you have received the low battery warning. I let mine charge overnight, use it in the morning and then put it back on the charger. By evening it is fully charged.

Recharge is pretty quick, if not fully drained, you're back charged in 20-30 minutes. I would recommend getting a spare so you can continue to fly while recharging.

I normally charge it overnight, but if I had to guess, it's about 3-5 hours. However, the length of it being able to charge other things far surpasses three hours.

The standard battery gives you 8-10 minutes. Extended batteries are available that get you up to 20 or so.

The only truly to know that the batteries are fully charged is when the LED on the charger is green. It takes about 3 hrs. to fully recharge.

I have the battery pack that used two batteries and yes I do carry two extra batteries and my charger when I go on a trip. If a battery is completely dead it will take almost two hours to charge it.

Based on the instructions, I recharge after every use. After 7-8 hours of working on my current remodeling project, it usually recharges in 2-3 hours depending on how much it was used that day. I use a separate, smaller drill for the pilot holes and use this drill to drive the 3" screws into 2x4s as a point of reference. I never run out of power over a day, but it would still not be a bad idea to get the extra battery.

Takes around 6 hours if you recharge all 4 at the same time about 3 hours if you only charge 2
