What kind of recharge times are devices showing? Interested in approx how long an HTC One &amp; a Dell Venue 8 Pro would take to fully charge

Not sure about those specific devices, but my iPad and iPhone charge rather fast. Especially the iPhone. If you use the 2A output port, its much faster when charging a phone as opposed to a tablet. But apparently it's less efficient if you're trying to maximize the usage of the Maxboost Electron's battery. If you're not in a rush, they recommend phone be charged on the 1A port and tablets on the 2A, but when you're in a rush and yo need to chafe your phone, use the 2A port and you'll get a fast charge. I'd say my iPhone 5 goes from 2% to 100% in less than one hour. The iPad takes much longer.

update to my answer: I brought the tablet down to 2% then turned off wifi, shut down all the apps, and rebooted the tablet to clear any lingering program resources/cache. after the reboot i plugged it in to charge at 11:45pm and went to bed. woke up at 6:30am and surprisingly it was fully charged to 100%...so less than 7 hours from 2% to 100%.

I used it for a hard 30 minutes and then set it to recharge and it was fully charged in less than 30 minutes. I'm not sure if it took 15 minutes, or the full 30 minutes that I was gone. Here say says that the drawbacks are the battery life and the charger quality.Very pleased with the one I purchased, so far.

I own 2 e280s, one of them since last July. I have found that it takes about 3 1/4 hours to charge fully. However I use a seperate charger to charge mine. I do not charge from my computer. I get between 15-22 hours on a charge.

I think 3-4 hours. I mostly use Duracell because I can't wait for charger. Hope this helps!

William, thanks for taking the time to respond. I will also let everyone know what kind of battery life we observe. Best of luck to you.ww

There is no set answer to this question. It all depends on your phone. If you have things like wi-fi, Bluetooth turned on or "Hey Siri" turned on, or lots of notifications such as Twitter/Facebook/sports etc. it takes a lot longer. If you have the phone turned off and charging it can charge very quickly. Especially if you use the two higher amp ports. if you are really looking for a quick charge, you should search for "quick charge" device chargers

Regina, that's a good question. The info sheet that came with the device claimed I think 150 hrs. of continuous use, which seemed like a misprint to me. When I plug the charger in the blue light comes on but goes out within about 5 minutes, which may mean it's charged. I think I'll wait until it runs out to learn the answer as I can always go back to the onscreen keyboard while it charges. You might ask someone who's owned it longer. Charles

I purchased new batteries (2 as they were so inexpensive & I plan to keep my phone for a while) after owning my phone for about 16-18 months. The original battery was lasting only half a day. I use my phone primarily for checking e-mails & some calls, very little online time. The new battery lasts all day or close to it with my usage. I would guess - as another reviewer posted - that you might get 4 hours of internet use. Buy a couple & switch them out. BTW... batteries losing the ability to stay charged is normal for any rechargeable battery, not just the HTC or other smart phones. Another option is buying the double size battery. Just a thought.

It depends on the brand. I have one that is "Tenergy" that takes about 4 hours to charge, but then I have another one by UltraFire that takes about 3.5 hours to charge. I have also notice there is a significant difference in how long these will last in the same device. The UltraFire lasting about 25% longer. as for whether you are charging one or four at the same time doesn't matter. Each bay charges individually.

Typical time it takes to charge your phone roughly four hours but there are indicators on the front of the charger. They blink whilst it charges and they stay lit up once it's completely charged.

maybe takes an hour to charge. charge lasts quite a while. probably couple days in standby mode and probably couple hours at least of talk (active) time. After the firmware upgrade I made to the unit, I am really happy with it. It is a great business tool. I often use this instead of our VOIP phone system.

I am getting about 8-10 hours, but not constant use. It is very fast and charges quickly. From none to full in about an hour.

I have a nexus 5 and it takes about an hour to charge. If I use my external battery it takes maybe 15 minutes to charge to full.

From low battery reminder to fully charged, I believe it's about an hour and a half. Red LEDs light up in the dock while charging, then go back to blue once complete. The LEDs are bright enough, I can see the status from across the room.

Depends on what you're charging. My anecdotal evidence would shows that I can charge my note 3 (3100mAh) and lose a bar (there are 4) which at 2A, takes about an hour or so to full charge. I usually only lose a bar when I have my iphone and note 3 hooked up (both are not fully drained tho) At 12A-H, a 2A load would take about 6 hours to drain the battery. I have to look up how to actually calculate the draw down time when at max load (3.1A) and do some more conclusively testing (like timing it). Hope this can provide some guidance.

Recharge these anytime. In fact, best to NOT let these run down entirely, as these (unlike Ni-Cad) have no 'memory.' Mainly don't overcharge. These take about a 2 hour charge, and overcharging in an attempt to bring them up to full capacity cause battery 'stress.' You can get the full, more scientific answers to your questions if you Google. Also, remove from charger after charging.
