Q: 1. how long it take to charge?

A: I took 500 images (Raw+JPG) on battery and indicator was low so I changed it. It took less than 15 minutes to recharge it. I do remember the breakin charge was longer perhaps over an hour. I am confident that I could take still pictures forever by charging a spare battery while taking pictures on the other. I don't know if I could get by with 2 batteries if I used all built-in flash or video (which does not allow as much time to charge). I tried to used non-canon batteries once and they did not last as long and took longer to recharge.My procedure on shooting day is to charge the spare battery which is very fast as it is nearly full. then swap it for the camera batter which may be mostly discharged and then charge that. That way I only have to closely monitor one battery and let the second go as long as needed. It also has the effect of rotating the batteries and equalizing wear. I recommend two batteries even if you don't shoot hundreds of pictures and then if you forget to charge it, you have something to switch to. I do the same with two sets for flash batteries. I also had an experience with an after market battery which did not report charge as you used it. With point and shoot cameras, two batteries represent significant expense, but with an EOS camera and 1st class glass, battery cost is less than 5%.
