Hi, How many volts is this unit? How long does it need to be full charge?

This item works off of a 3.6 volt Lithium battery. It takes about 4 hrs for a full charge. I have never run out of power while using it to cut the grass around my drip line sprinkler heads. However, the hedge trimmer blade doesnt not work well, I'm thinking there isn't enough power to cut the hedges. I bought this item specifically to cut the grass and thought it would be a plus to get the hedger. I give an excellent review for the shears.

Hello Roslin, I think it's probably 12v, but since I bought it at the end of our growing season in the Fall, I only used it one time before winter arrived in Colorado, so won't really have a good opinion of it until the coming summer season. Sorry.

3.6 volts. Charge it initially once overnight. About 20 minutes every time after that. It keeps a charge a long time.

120V only. I believe the first time I got it I charged it a full twelve hours. After each use I put a two hour charge on it. You don't want the battery to overheat. Suggestion! Treat it as you would your cell phone and it will last a long time. I hope this was helpful

3.6 volts. Never found the need to time how long it takes to get to full charge. Just plug the charger into a wall socket and the charger light will turn red. Upon completion of charge the light will turn to green.

Hi, Dakota. Each battery assembly half is rated at 9 amp hours so the unit is a total of 18 amp hours. I think the warranty is two years. I have had mine in service for over a year and a half and it still charges up to full original capacity.

I tested mine yesterday, It was a 1 bar and it took 3 hours to come to full charge. Hope this help you with a guideline.

I am sorry, I did not keep track of it, I left it over night charging and I went to bed, next day it was fully charged , my best guess it takes at least 4 to 5 hours.

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!

None of these answers look right to me.. From the manual: "It takes at least 24 hours to fully charge the battery". From the quick start guide: "Before you start, charge for 2 hours minimum". Basically: 24 hours for a full charge. If you can't wait to use it, make sure you charge for 2 hours before using it the first time.

I always charge it a full day before using it, so I'm not exactly sure. The charge lasts for my full yard....a small row home sized yard....front and back

7.2V - should last 90 minutes on a charge (one of the reasons why I purchased this)

At FULL Charge, mine lasts about 15 to 20 minutes. It takes about an hour for recharging with the USB cable for your computer

I have measured around 12 hours with mine. Just be advised that it takes around 2 - 3 hours to get a full charge

Sorry about the delay...but i see you have some thoughtful people who answered for me.It does take 1- 9 volt battery.I'll be using it this weekend for an investigation.We will see how well it really works.Should be interesting.Have a good day... :)

Sorry we haven't used it enough to know. We got it for outside use and the weather has been bad since we got it. However, it has been sitting in a cold garage for several weeks and I went to charge it up and the charge was almost full even though it has been sitting in a very cold garage. Hope someone else can give you a better answer.

1. It lasts for about 2 hrs. 2. On the charger it states: 100-240V I'm satisfied with it, because my previous one only lasted 30-45 minutes. Hope this helps.

Dingo, Ran my battery to empty and it was a 9.7 kWh deficit. (Meant to use kWh instead of kW earlier.) The charge indicator showed about 3 hrs. 15 mins, for 240v, 9 hrs 30 minutes for 120V 12 amp. Plugging it in at 7 Amps, the meter readjusted to 14 hrs. 45 min. for 7 amps. So recharging a Volt takes about 15 hours vs. 9.5 hours for 12 a. You should adjust your charging time to the capacity of the battery bank.

Long term I cannot answer your question, because I just recently bought it. But the one I have has kept a full charge for over two weeks when not being used. Hope this helps.

Not completely positive, but more than six to eight hours. I find it is not a quick charge at any given time, but your given adequate warning that it needs a charge and can plug it in overnight so it's ready when you do need it.

It runs about half an forty minutes on a full charge. I'm not sure about how long I charge it. We just . keep it charged all the time.
