How long does the charge last?

About 15 to 20 minutes of off and on use. Ok for small jobs but not enough if you have a lot to do especially with a 9 hour recharge time.

The charge seems to last for about 1-2 hours of use...which is all the time you'd want to use it. So it is fine! Very good purchase, saving a lot on tree work!

I'll be honest, I'm not sure, we finished our trimming before we lost power. We trimmed for well over a half an hour and it worked beautifully the whole time.

If it's a big job, the charge will last about 20 minutes; on a smaller job, you'll get a bit over a hour. (Sorry for the delay with my response; I've been offline for a bit, but wanted to give you an answer since I had been asked. :)

I have used it twice, both times for nearly an hour. There was no indication of any weakness in the battery charge.

I've used the nicad version for about a total of 30 minutes over 4 months and it finally punked out. A newly charged battery and away I went. I Don't have a good idea about continuous use. It probably depends on the strain you put on the trimmer. Small branches will likely not cause as big a drain as larger branches. Regardless, I've gone out for ten or twelve 4 inch branches at a time ... On several occasions, and it kept right on going until last week when a recharge became necessary.

Not sure. I've used it 3 times over 3months perhaps 20 total minutes... and still going strong. Standard 18 volt bttry. As I mentioned in my review, I chose that battery because I already had 2 other B&D; devices that use that same power source.

Maybe an hour, if you continue to use it will start to slow close to an hour, other wise gets the job done, great buy one of the best purchase I have made.

I have had mine for more than 30 days and it still has a charge... That's with only a charge when I got it .

Initially I charged it for 4 hours. That's supposed to last for 2 weeks or longer, as I was informed; however I have to charge it regularly for at least 2 hours.

so far mine has lasted 6 hours without needing a charge. I haven't run mine down yet so I cant say for sure but 6 hours as of now

Hello. Based on usage a full charge should last between a couple weeks of non-usage to a few days of extensive use. Thank you

Depends on usage. If you are doing office work and web browsing, it should last more than 3 hours on a full charge.

it lasts as long as you dont use it. the battery does not lose its charge once it is charged

I'm not sure how long it takes to fully charge; I've left it charging for up to two days and the charging light never shut off. My guess for how long actually it takes to charge is like half a day or something, but that's pure speculation. And to answer the other question: Yes, as long as you're reasonably careful.

I generally charge it for about ten to fifteen minutes and work a full time job and it's never really died on me...If I get up to leave the computer I'll usually just hook it up and when I come back unplug it and I'm good to go. Never had it die on me yet.

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

I charged it over night. So I don't know how long it actually took to charge. I do know the charge is good for a few hours of use, though. Sorry i can't be more specific.

About 8-10 minutes, in my experience. Takes about an hour to charge the battery up again.

The charging last almost a week for me, using MOSTLY twice a day (occasionally I only use once). My son and I use different head attachments and the charge only lasts around 3 days, but it's being used 4 times a day.

A few hours (I haven't clocked it), I think. I've watched a movie and then a tv show afterward. The cool thing is that you can plug it in to charge while you're using it, so that works great!

not very long at all..I only charged it about 2 hours and it was ready to go.

Takes about 5 hours or so to charge. Once it changes will keep for few days at unless you use it.

Battery charge lasts about 5 to 6 hours. I bought 2 of them and just change to the spare it I am watching that long!I don't worry about the battery life for the price :)
