Take the Battery Mah rating, divide that by the Charger output, and that will give you the length of time.
Example-- Check the back of the wall plug for the charger. It will have an output rating (ex. output 500 Mah). If you have a 1500 Mah cell in your ignitor, take 1500 (Battery Mah), divide that by 500 (Charger output) and you get 3. That is how many hours to get a full charge. If a battery is NEW and being charged for the first time, you should let it charge for 10 hours, or overnight, to ensure a full charge.

I have charged mine for 2 hours and it has lasted me a week! Usually I just put it on the charger the night before and it was fine for a whole day of racin.

most of those wall chargers are around 150mah and the cheapy batts that come with those igniters are around 800-1000mah so just throw it on for about 10 hours and it'll be definitely fully charged.
150mah times 6 hours= 900mah, so just charge it a little longer to be sure.
