My MBA still takes 9+ hours to fully charge

I never experienced recharge times of more than 5 hours even when new. How many cycles does your battery have?
Wow, I'd call AppleCare or visit an Expert at the Apple Store. Sounds like a problem. Just my 2 cents.
I still have the battery problem. The Sales rep and Genius's responses were that I could return it (or by inference, sell it) if I was unhappy with the charging time, as it is known to take a very long time.
A fourtysomething battery cycle user reported to me that it is notably lower, around what Astrohouse mentioned but I wonder if anyone's been nerdy enough to time the process properly.
Since I stopped using the Air as my main ultraportable the number of cycles gone through in a week (twentysomething the last time I checked) has drastically reduced, so for me to arrive at this supposedly magic number is now probably a long way away.

I have my week 08 (Japan) MBA for 3 days now, and charging time takes only 4 - 4,5 hours to full capacity. I do have the Cycle counter error though, as it jumps at least 2 or even 3 cycles during a single rundown.
