Quick Battery Charging Question

Hi folks,
Just a quick question - my battery was flat today so I've now got it hooked up to a Halfords 1800cc battery charger. I started at 11:40. How long should I keep it on for?

Think the Halfords one does as well the charging light should go from amber to green.

Yeah, I borrowed the Halfords one from a neighbour and the light does goes from amber to green - just wondered how long I was going to have to charge it for. In the end though, I charged it for an hour or so before giving the van a go and it started fine. Then I went for a drive to charge it...
Gunna get myself one of those though - so easy to use. This one was mains operated. I'm guessing there are the type the AA use though too,eh, that you charge up and then take with you on the road. Any recommendations? (Sorry, I bet this has been covered heaps of times, but since we're on the subject
)
