The time it takes to recharge your vehicles battery will depend on how you're charging the battery.

If you're using a battery charger to recharge the battery then it usually takes around 1 to 2 hours to fully recharge your cars battery on the high amp setting.

On trickle charge it can take up to 8 hours to fully recharge your cars battery.

If you jump start a cars battery you should let it sit and idle for 2 to 5 minutes before driving off to allow the battery to get some charge.

And then you should drive the car at highways speeds for 30 minutes to allow the cars battery to fully recharge before shutting the engine off.
