Re: charge for how long?!

The AC adaptor will always have an output voltage and amps listed on it, divide the capacity by the output of the adaptor...

Say the output is 200ma, then 1200/200 = 6 hours. Typically, you can just charge "overnight".

despite it telling you not to :P
just leave it on a surface that doesn't care about heat too much as it will warm up when it finish charging

also usually your charger will stop once the battery is fully charged
