how long does it take to get a full charge on the battery ?

I didn't have the player long enough to attempt to charge the battery. The sound and picture were so bad I returned it.

That's a good question; I have not (yet) let the battery run down all the way (I don't use it in a vehicle, so I usually plug it in), but I would agree with Ms. Desrosiers that 30 minutes would be in the range.

I use the player in the kitchen and leave it plugged in so I don't need to charge it often. It takes about an hour to charge. It is a great little machine. I bought a small iHome speaker to get better sound.

This little player has been great. But the battery takes a few hours (around 1 or 2) without being on to charge fully. If you have exhausted the battery you must plug it in and stop using it. Wierd in my opinion. Still a great unit for the price though.

Hello John,Sorry to get back with you so late. When I bought mine, I charge it overnight, and when I am out and about, I have been able to use it for hours nonstop before charging it again! For the prince, it's a gem!Charles

Mine was nearly fully-charged and I used it right away. It didn't take long to bring it to full charge either.

Haven't really timed it out from drained to full charge, but my best guess would be 30 minutes.... :-) hope this helps God Bless

To fully charge the battery when it has no battery left at all, it takes about 2 hours to get fully charged.

I'd say it fully charges within 30 minutes. I haven't timed it though. When I use it it is only on for about 10 minutes and I had to recharge after about 4-5 days. The button to turn it on and off can be very difficult. Sometimes it is easy and comes right on and other times I have to keep trying.

Mine came with at least a half charge. I plugged it in until the light turned green and then a couple more hours just to make sure. I'd say it takes about 6 hours to go from completely drained to completely charged.

A fully depleted battery should be fully charged in about 3 hours. Thank you

I can't say I have a solid idea about the charge time, but it doesn't take long. I plugged it in at about 5% battery before a softball game and by the time I got home about 2 hours later it was fully charged.

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.

yes it takes sometimes up to 10-12 hours for a full charge, and the light will turn green at that time.

I am not sure of the full charge time, however I would guess the charge time would be around an hour to 1 1/2 hours. I have had these batteries about a month now and, I have only charged them twice. Keep in mind, I don't use them everyday, maybe two to three times a week. I hope this helps.

I don't know, there was some charge on the battery when I received it, and I plugged it in and left it, I don't think it took that long. Since then it didn't take long to top off the charge since I hadn't used it yet.

I should add to my previous response that the battery life on a full charge is at least 8 hours.

Put the battery in the charger. Usually get some type of indicator light that it connected and charging. It seems like the batteries take 5 hours to fully charge.

If you use the battery that comes with it, about 4-5 hours for a full charge.

The original battery takes three hours or so from flat to full. That gives you about 45 min of run time. You can get a better battery with the same charge time but twice the run time for around $30 with taxes and all.

It can take between one and a half to two hours to charge the battery if charged when about 15% of the charge remains. I usually do not let mine completely run out but based on the time it takes for 85% of the battery to charge, I would estimate two hours and twenty minutes to two and a half hours for a full charge.
