battery charging after starting

hey everyone,
i was just wondering if anybody knew after starting a quad using the battery (turns over once or twice before starting) how long would you have to run it for to fully charge the battery again?

It might start on its own after a few hours of running.

It takes a 3-4 amp charge for 72 hours to fully recharge a battery.

pretty much

I would have someone charge it with a battery charger.

If it goes dead within a few days of sitting I would buy a new one.

I've been running my quad for about 20 minutes at a time and hoping that's enough to keep it charged. Fingers crossed.
