Default Charging Time on Lithium Polymer Battery

I just bought the U-Can-Do 3D EP along with the Great Planes PolyCharge Lithium Polymer DC Charger with a Great Planes Lithium-Polymer 1500mAh 11.1V 3-Cell Pack. I am using the 12V battery from my vehicle for the input power. How long will it take to get a full charge. 45 minutes was the longest I left on the charger, and it still wasn't fully charged. Any advise will help. Thanks

Default RE: Charging Time on Lithium Polymer Battery

45 minutes probably brought you to about 90% of charge. A lot depends on the capacity of the battery when charging begins, but you can count on about one hour give or take from start to finish when the battery is charged at 1C.
