Default I've done it, only about 2 hours and phone was fully charged, depends on the health of battery.

We have used the car batteries (a fellow competitor with an A4 wagon) ran the inverter/laptop/timer at a rally cross last winter, although they DID start the car midway through, (mainly for heat/etc) so I'd say 3 hours is ok IMHO

Default I've done it for the past year, overnight all the time.

Plus newer phones stop themselves from charging when they are full.

is the ionic breeze efficient, can you 'smell' a difference?

Default yes you really can... my car used to smell like **** and now there is no real smell.

I have them all over my house also and it really helps. I dont smoke in my car ut a friend of mine smokes in his car and has one and you can not smell it one bit. Well worth the $30
