Charging Time Question

[sumoapplepie]

How long, on average, does it take to recharge the h120's battery after a full discharge?

Does the ratio of "time played/recharge time" stay the same if I only use the player for a hour? -----Just to clarify, say it took 16hrs for the battery to be fully discharged and it takes 8hrs for a complete recharge; would it take 1 hr to recharge the battery to full after playing it for 2 hrs?

Haven't had my player go down to 0 battery very often, but I Think a 3 hour charge time will pretty fill it up. As for charge time on a semi-full battery, it's a little weirder. I've had a fully charged player unplugged and off for a single day, then plug it back in and have the green light go on for 1+ hours.

With lithium ion batteries, once it hits 90% charged you cant put energy in them as fast, it will harm them. So the answer is no, that last 10% takes quite a while to charge, so in turn the drain/recharge ratio is not linear,

thanks for the help

What happens if you leave the h140 plugged into the recharger after the light's gone out? Does charging stop automatically? Or if not, could this damage the batteries?

I think i saw this b4 but after the green light goes out it runs on ac power and after time (dono how long) it'll stop running on ac power, so basically you can't overcharge the battery, it shuts off and runs on ac mains power.
