How long does a GX350 need to charge for to have full battery life.

Not smart charging batteries in a multi-battery mod, generally most mods do not balance charge the batteries so you could have 1 that is at 3.5v while the others are 4.2v even though the mod says they are all charged fully. Weakest link in the chain will be where the failure occurs, the 3.5v battery will be under to much heavy stress and could potentially either vent or go into thermal runaway. Get yourself a dedicated external battery charger for any mod that uses replaceable batteries, they are not expensive, being the GX350 is a 4 battery mod you'll need a 4bay battery charger, the Nitecore i4 would be the most cost effective. That charger only has one job to do, charge batteries and monitor their charge level independently and at the same time recondition them to stay at optimal output.

If you have a decent external battery charger, you'll be surprised at how quickly they can charge. The Nitcore brand is pretty decent for chargers and inexpensive. If you get 2 married pairs of 4 batteries each, you can carry the spares with you if you need to charge during the day (in silicone boxes, mind you to make sure that you're carrying them safely) and I'd guess a few hours (certainly not all night) and your batteries will be happier. Best of luck, and you really do want them all charged up equally, for sure....
