Woody and Robert agree it's an hour so I will only add...
Sometimes it's better to charge more then an hour to be really "full".
Also, and particularly with emate, sometimes unplugging and replugging
the AC adapter will set the device charging further. Note this is also
a technique for restoring emates which warn about bad batteries at
power up.
I like to leave mine(MP2000) over night. It will say 100% after an hour
if you have the 9W adapter with the folding plug.
