so the hornet charges the battery when plugged in. my question is how do you know when the battery is done charging?

Thats a good question

It should stop by itself; I just plug it in (while the Hornet is off) and let it charge the night.

I think its best to get a battery tester. I bought one from Amazon.com and it tests 9 volts, triple A and double A batteries. Sometimes you really need to know your batter levels especially when you are using important devices for practicle uses outside, like a camera for important events example.

About 3 hours to charge, I leave mine for 4 to make sure.

It's at least important to note that, despite not bearing any indication when the battery is "full", the trickle charger is incapable of overcharging your batteries. Doesn't help if you're looking to charge multiple batteries quickly, but leaves no doubt that an overnight charge will suffice - and do so safely.

I generally got a full charge in 2-3 hours.
