It

 

will

 

take

 

approximately

 

1.0–1.5

 

hours

 

to

 

fully

 

charge

 

a

 

mostly

 

or

 

fully

 

discharged

 

battery

 

(NOTE:

 

See

 

the

 

following

 

information

 

in

 

this

 

section

 

for

 

more

 

details

 

regarding

 

optional

 

‘fast’

 

charging

 

that

 

can

 

reduce

 

charge

 

times

 

to

 

as

 

little

 

as

 

30

‐

45

 

minutes).

 

And

 

when

 

the
