hey guys, i got my walker bulldog today. i was wondering if anyone could tell me how long the battery takes to charge. i was hoping for a led indicator but i guess not.

Q: How long should I charge mybattery packwith the supplied wall charger?

A: Add 15% to the battery pack's rated capacity, then divide the sum by the charger's output amperage to get charge time. For example, if you have a 2000mAh battery pack and a 400mAh charger, then the charge time is (2000 + 0.15*2000)/400 = 5.75 hours or 5 hours 45 minutes. If your charger's output is 500mAh, then the charge time is 4.6 hours or 4 hours 36 minutes. However, you can charge the battery pack for 5 hours initially.

5 hours for the first time, 4 hours or so after that. If you get serious with this hobby, should you find that you like it, you'll quickly dump the charger and those batteries and get a real Peak Charger and some 3600 mah or bigger batteries.

There's probably lots of other good ones out there but I have this one;

It will charge the stock battery in approx. an hour.
