How long does it take for a normal, sane iBook battery to charge from 0 to 100 %?

I think my new battery charges 'too fast' to be normal, but i have forgotten how long would the normal, new battery of iBook take to charge. I didn't find it on Apple's site - so how long does it take on yours guys???

My new iBook battery seems to charge quickly, too, more quickly than my old iBook (500/66) did. I haven't seen any ill effects because of it.

I think my iBook, unlike me, is almost sane and it takes just a couple of hours for the battery to charge from near 0% to 100%. I usually get almost four hours of use from a full charge. I hope this helps!

Have fun... Tony.
