I have learned that when i get new batteries for my hobby cars you want to fully charge the battery to the recommended hrs, you want to charge the battery fully because it will improve how long your battery will last on one charge and how long the battery's life will be.
6 hrs. if the battery is fully depleted
Depends on how much battery life is left.
Till the battery is fully charged. -Could be 4-12 hours.
Most charges simply reduce power when the battery is fully loaded. If you're in a hurry, look for when the charge current drops.
I assume you mean how long to charge the battery. You should never let the alternator charge a dead battery if possible. The alternator is designed to keep the battery charged but not to charge a dead battery. You put a strain on the alternator and it can cause a diode to burn out. Drive home and then put a battery charger on the battery to fully charge it.

I recommend you use an automatic charger but if you do not have one and the battery is fully discharged then click the link and insert the battery capacity in mAh and the charge rate in mA to determine the amount of hours to charge the battery.
It takes 3 to 4 hours to charge, if the battery meter does not show fully charge by then-maybe it is time to replace battery. Hope this helps.
NOt goes up to its max every time you charge for a long time
It is best to drive home and put a battery charger on the battery and let it fully charge. Letting it charge with the alternator puts a strain on the alternator and should be avoided if possible. But if you have no charger then you will need to let the engine run for around 30 minutes to charge the battery enough so that it will start the next morning. It will take a couple of hours of driving to fully charge the battery.
Playback time in an Ipod Shuffle is up to 10 hours when fully charged.
