how long does it take to charge?

about thirty minutes, but it only holds a charge for thirty minutes because of its size. plan on leaving it plugged in if your power card will stay in the unit. mine needs a rubber band to hold the power card in. suggestion keep looking.

When you first get it, out of the box, it needs an 8+hr charge. Once charged, it'll stay on for about an hour, then needs another charge. I got tired of charging it all night, only for it to go dead quickly...so I just leave it connected to the 12v charger while in my 18 wheeler. I'm not at all impressed with the battery life.

Sorry I'm not sure maybe an hour. Since I've had I have not needed to charge it again.

I usually plug it in overnight. I think it takes a few hours to charge. It depends on how low the battery is when you charge it.

How long did it take you to charge this up to full capacity upon receiving?

If you use the quick charger (which you have to buy), it will charge in 90 minutes to 2 hours. Personally when I've used the quick charger, it seemed to shorten the battery life, so I only use it in emergencies. The regular charger (which is included with tools) takes 6 to 8 hours. The newer regular chargers have a light to tell you when it's fully charged.

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

It plugs into a normal wall outlet. The initial (out-of-the-box) charge takes about 12 hours (if I recall correctly from the owner's manual). After that, it only takes 2-4 hours to charge it, typically.

I'm not really sure how long it takes. I just plugged it in and let it charge over night and it was fine.

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.

Not exactly sure how long it takes. It comes with two batteries so I can get a day out of the one while the other is charging and the next day I just switch batteries. The battery holds a charge for the entire day and then some.

A brand new battery can take up to 3 hours to fully charge. After the battery has been charged and depleted to under 5% about ten times, the charge that is held takes about 2 - 2.5 hours to fully charge.

I actually don't know how long it takes - I usually just plug it in over night and it's charged by morning.

it takes a long time, im not really sure because i usually charge it with the adapter it came with, but if i had to guess i would say around 16 hours or longer.

Mine. only took about 2 hours. I think It depends on how much of a charge it has when you get it.

It seems to only take a few hours. I plug it in overnight and it's charged in the morning.

Hello,It takes about 30-45 minutes to charge. A problem I and a couple of people have had is the charger finishing before the standard battery is fully charged. This light appears to be only good for a short trip about 45 minutes on low. Another problem is the mount. You can look at my review under KRB on how I made a mount.
