No matter if it is a 6 volt or a 12 volt battery, the amount of power it takes to charge it depends on its "charge capacity", measured in ampere-hours. A 60 A-h battery needs half the amount of power to charge it as a 120 A-h battery.
The amount of power you have to supply from a battery charger depends on how old the battery is and also on how old the battery charger is. The older they are, the more power they will waste during the battery charging period.
Very roughly, a nominal 12 volt 60 A-h battery in good condition but "flat" requires about 5 amps of current supplied at between about 15 to 17 volts (which the battery charger unit should take care of automatically) for about 13 to 15 hours.
When the battery has been fully charged and disconnected from the charger, its voltage should be around 13.6 volts when it is not supplying any load current. The electrical power needed to do that would be roughly equal to 17 volts x 5 amps x 15 hours = 1275 watts.

It varies depending on how much other electronics you are using on the vehicle at the time. Could take hours. I do not recommend you charge any dead battery with the alternator if you can avoid it. it puts too much of a strain on the alternator and may damage it. Charge a dead battery with a battery charger.

Depends on how much battery life is left.
Depends entirely on how much current you use to charge it.
The battery may be defective and not able to take a charge.
Your battery may be worn out. When you use electricity to run the laptop your battery should not be in your laptop. The power will run through the battery making it drain. Either replace your battery, or take it to get it check out if it is still under warrenty.
it takes about 18 hours to charge.(1.2x(Mah of battery)/300
Yes, your can charge the battery with the radio on. But why would you want to do this? It will just take longer to charge with something drawing current from the battery.
How long does it take for an 18v battery to charge
Take the battery to autozone or kragen auto parts and they will charge it for free.
they can take up a lot of electricity
