The hand held unit does need to be in the countertop machine for that unit to operate the vacuum feature but not to just seal. Sorry, no answer on charging time.

Hi.. I just actually received this unit as a gift and I did not know what this piece was either... so I chatted with a representative and I was told it is used to seal the zipper on the zipper bags.. you slide it across to seal the bag... hope that helped.
