BUT, that being said I've run a saber down to the point of the LEDs nearly going out, put it on the charger before bed, and come back 8 hours later and it was charged. Typically it seems like 4-5 hours for a full charge once the battery is low enough to really notice it, and maybe up to 8 hours if the battery is nearly dead?

Should be about 4-10 hours, depending how low the battery is and what charger you're using.

The standard 18650 charger that comes with the Warrior sabers is dirt slow. I had a battery on that for about 14 hours before just taking it off. I ordered a Nitecore charger off Amazon (free Prime > TCSS shipping) and it took an almost-dead cell from ~7% to full in just over 7 hours. Not sure of any performance difference between that charger and the 3A "smart charger" for the recharge port sabers, but you should be looking at about the same, maybe a bit longer.

SadiraOrphesu Offline Elite Member Posts: 199 Thank you received: 94	I mean you can buy battery meters, but there isn't any built in way to check battery level besides the fact that the LED dims, I'm just estimating because I've used my saber for a few hours straight but I've never let it get to the point where the saber was starting to go out cause of super low battery so I'm estimating definitely less than 50% but not that low.
