How long should it take for the battery on a Freedom Trolley to charge up?

Ive been using mine over the weekend, probably for no more than an hour and a half to two hours. Its been on charge for 4 hours now and the red light is still on. Surely it shouldnt take this long? If Id been using it all day I could understand but this seems rather a long time for such a short period of usage.

lol Calm down Matt.

It's fine mate. The charger is designed to be plugged in and left plugged in whenever you aren't using the trolley. Maybe the battery wasn't fully charged when u got ur trolley. It does charge slowly but I,m sure it will be as rarin to go as u are tomorrow morning mate  :)

Leave it on charge Matt, it has an intellegent charger so it won't overcharge, get your DISTUCTION manual out and have a little read to calm your nerves ;D

Matt does it have two switches on it? I have one from freedom, slow charge is always the best but if I need it quick it goes on fast, I leave mine over night on slow and always fully charged by morning and that 2 men on a van mount 2 pumps 2 of everything draining it.
I know its not a trolley but hope you see my point, and good luck for today  ;)

Havent spotted any switches on it.

I might phone Andrew today just to ask and see if they do send em out half-charged, they may do that, who knows?
