Shirley, USB charge takes about 4-5 hours but if it is your first charge if you can give it 8 -10 hours all the better.
If you download a program called s1fwx
HERE
Connect your player to the USB port and run the extract.bat file in the s1fwx folder. Then run the repair.bat you will now have a backup of your players firmware called dump.bin. Save this as it will be essential should you have any problems with your player in the future. To find out your battery type there is a file called list.bat if you execute it it will open a command window listing the properties of your dump.bin file along with a list of files it contains.
It will look like this
