      Hi Anita,

      It’s not easy to define because the endings are almost the same in all cases. I would say it’s the Genitive. If I replace 15 with 80, I get 80-ти минутную, and 80-ти is the Genitive.

      Btw, if it was written all in letters, it would be one word – пятнадцатиминутную. The whole word пятнадцатиминутную is in the Accusative case (same as зарядку).
