piggy back part is a completely separate 10-hour charger so, yes.
(I'd call it 14 hour, personally, it's 180mA into 1800mAh batt, tho my batt analyzed at over 2000mAh, so maybe 16 hours for a full charge)

radellaf,
Is there a formula for calculating charge time relative to mah?
Thanks,

Devide the battery's capacity by the charge current. It's not 100% exact, BUT does give a good relative time.

Thanks a lot! I thinking about buying one off ebay but it's not the fast charger so I'm worried I'll be left without a light if it take so long to charge.
If I can keep the battery on the charger though It might work out...
What are your thought?

For slow charge add 40-60%. Less as charge gets faster.
e.g. 1800mAh batt, 180mA, 14-16 hour charge.
1800/180*1.4

While fast charge is more convenient, it's harder on the battery. If you can afford the time you're better off with the slow charger. This is my opinion, I'm no battery "expert".
