I did a full charge yesterday, this is the third time I charge it, and I waited until the Inkpad wouldn't boot anymore for lack of juice.
The charge took 4 hours. I used a charger that complies to the specs in the manual. I own chargers that have a weaker output, those may take longer.
I think the Inkpad may last up to for 4 weeks if I only use the Inkpad for reading with occasional frontlight set on the lowest brightness. This specific charge lasted 3 weeks and 1 day, but I did quite some filemanagement tasks and copied several versions of CR3 whilst not charging the Inkpad through the PC USB port. I saw the charge drop 10% during one of these operations, and expect it will last longer if these actions are omitted. YMMV of course.
Supposedly the third full charge will bring the battery to its full capacity - though I'm not sure if that's an urban myth or not, but it humours me so I make sure that I follow it. I have noticed no capacity problems in my trusty PB302, even after 5 years. So something I bought, or something I did must be working alright.
