So, how long does it take to charge the MagCharger's STOCK battery when fully discharged? How do you know when it's fully charged?

Same questions but with the Wilkey UMP.

The stock battery should take around 14 hours from empty. I think Mag recommends 16 hours. There is no way I know of to tell when it is "full" if you're using the constant current trickle charger cradle. I think the best way to be sure is to give it extra time, like 16-24 hours. The UMP should take 20-24 hours from empty.

I think tha the instructions state to charge it for either 12 or 16 hours the first time (don't remember which), and whenever you runn it fully down (also recommended by Mag) to eliminate any memory effect that may have occured. When I emailed Mag to ask that very question, I was told that it would only take 10 hours for a normal charge.
