Indicates the amount of time, in seconds, that remain until the battery is fully charged.
Even if the time returned is precise to the second, browsers round them to a higher interval (typically to the closest 15 minutes) for privacy reasons.
Syntax
var time = battery.chargingTime
On return, time is the remaining time in seconds until the battery, which is a BatteryManager object, is fully charged, or 0 if the battery is already fully charged. If the battery is currently discharging, this value is Infinity.
Example
HTML Content
<div id="chargingTime">(charging time unknown)</div>
JavaScript Content
navigator.getBattery().then(function(battery) {
var time = battery.chargingTime;
document.querySelector('#chargingTime').textContent = battery.chargingTime;
});
