How long will this hold a charge? I want to charge it and leave it in my glove box for emergencies.

I know if you use for charge, at least can use charge for 5 hours. But if you just put in the box, I really don't know how long can hold. I tried charge not use for one week, it still full.

I have this in a child's 4 wheeler toy, and it holds a charge for a good while but I am not sure how many hours exactly.

Hi, I think about 6 hours like the other answers I put it on overnight. I tried to do a test today it was not charged in 5 hours but fully in 8! using an iPhone charger. The easiest way is just to leave it on overnight.

You can go quite awhile once charged...I think at least a month if not more. You did remind me to check mine though since it has been awhile since I charged it! ;)I've never kept it plugged in though...only plugged in overnight to charge it up and it holds a charge for a good duration of time!

while operating - at least 6 hours. I think mine died during the 7-8 hours after a full charge. I leave it in my car and the batteries remain charged until I actually use it and I'd say it keeps its charge for awhile, on a monthly basis. Not too sure about annually.

I usually charge overnight and the charge will last for 3 or 4 hours, although I am guessing - I haven't really timed it.

The literature indicates up to 7 hours. I havn't used it for that long so I can't confirm this. I did use it for several hours after charging it for the first time and it still had enough power for a few hours more use a few weeks later before I needed to charge it again.

This is a great unit. Be sure to give it a full initial charge! After that, you can carry it in your automobile for up to 60 days before recharging. However; be sure to charge it AFTER EACH USE. Also, there is a neat little button on the unit's face that indicate any need for a charge.

this is like a portable battery.. so when your equipment needs a charge.. this is great. holds charge for a long time. before it needed RECHARGING.. I keep it with me because my nephews phone is always dead, and within 40 min or so, his phone is fully charged.

I mostly use mine for long trips overseas, not every day or kept in the car, so I had't really thought about. Just checked mine in the drawer where I left it fully charged when I got back from a trip in mid-July. It's still fully charged! Guess a pretty long time then! Hope that helps!

I routinely charge it every week to 10 days for at least 6-8 hours. The charge level is about 25-30% when I do, so I'd estimate that it will safely last up to two weeks between charges. (The charge level appears on screen when you click on a vehicle location to get info.) BTW, when I looked into buying, I read in the reviews that it can be connected directly to the car's electrical system. No details, though.

If you charge it for 12 hours it will hold a charge for 3 months but its best to charge it every 3 month 2 to 3 hours . I hope I answered your question good luck .

You can charge it in about 2 or 3 hours. I found a trick that if you make sure it stays cool, it will charge quicker and discharge slower. Not a bad battery.

I would imaging that there is one online somewhere but really just hook it up as you would jumper cables. Charge it for 1 day every 3 months or so and it will stay charged.There's also a test button on it to see how much charge it has. I've used mine a lot since getting it and have had no problems. I keep it in my truck always

You should be able to hold the storage battery power that is not used in one sitting for at least a week. I have not used it after an on the go quick cell charge and then didn't use it again for as mentioned above.. A week and I still had the same charge it had when I turned it off. I think that heat and extreme cases of cold conditions definitely play a role. Obviously try to keep it at room temperature and not leave it plugged in past the fully charged Mark. This will extend the life of this great product. I have had it for a good 8months. And not a single complaint!

Depends on how much is left in the battery. I just let it charge overnight, I have never timed the charge, but I would assume at least 4 hours from a full discharge.
