until it is charged.lol. mine does not take that long even at only
2 amps. probably an hour or 2 max if it is almost dead.

if you use a Vex or Atlantis charger it will indicate the charge...if you want to know exactely.
Also marcum has a battery status led option for batteries.
Ive used these batteries since AV started making cameras....i plug in the night before and let them charge all night.
The only time ive ruined a battery is when i started charging before the battery was at room temp, that battery didnt hold a charge for a full sun up to sundown ice trip. Even in minus 20 temps. my batteries hold up unless i run a high sensitivity setting.
To be safe i always have a fully charged back up. I regulary put it into acton so it goes thru the drain and charge process....i was told thats important from the battery guy.

to clarify. mine did not come with the fish. t.v.
i bought a small gel cell from the fishing hole.
i put it on a battery charger. buddy has an aqua-view that he
plugs it in all night. been working for a few years now.
