So when you put the battery on to charge it will tell you the percentage it is at.  Then charging the battery to full will depend on how much or how little charge it already has.  At full charge I have used the D3 for about 6 to 8 hours in a day, have taken hundreds of photos in raw and jpg, gone to charge the battery and still had it at 70%.  In some cases I have gone weeks without having to recharge.  Sometimes I wonder why I purchased a spare battery.  It is not like I need it.  The only use I had for it was when I needed to clean my sensor and the battery in the camera was only at 40 or 50%.  So it was lucky I had a fully charged spare with me.</blockquote>
