G CHARGE PERIOD
The approximate time required to bring a battery to a full charge state depends upon the number of ampere hours (AH’s) de- pleted from the battery. AH’s are determined by multiplying the number of hours times the number of amps supplied by a bat- tery to a load. For example - if a load was connected to a bat- tery which drew 10 Amps for a period of 5 hours, the battery will have supplied 50 AH’s. The approximate recharge time required to restore the 50 AH’s depleted from the battery would be calcu- lated by dividing 50 AH’s by the selected charge rate. If the 15 Amp charge rate is chosen then divide 50 AH’s by 15 Amps, this equal to 1.25 hours or 1 hour and 15 minutes. During the charge cycle, the 15 Amp charge rate will not remain constant, rather as the battery charges it will taper to approximately
50 = 3 Hours 20 Minutes
15
3 Hours (180 minutes + 20 minutes = 200 minutes) 200 x 1.25 = 250 minutes or 4 Hours & 10 minutes
