Thanks,

Charging time will depend on the capacity of the cells in the rebuilt pack. I assume you plan to charge using the original AC adapter, correct? (No danger to the calculator as others have stated). If I recall correctly, charging time with original cells was something like 12 hours. Modern cells have double or more the capacity, so charging time will extend accordingly.

I could say the exact same thing, except replace “poor college student” with “poor high school student”. To heck with saving up to buy a car, I wanted a calculator!
