Battery Rating Method

Use the following table to more accurately determine the time it will take to fully charge a battery that is initially at 50% State-of-Charge. Identify you r battery type and its associated Charge Time in the table. Common battery types are:

Small batteries, motorcycles, garden tractors, etc., are usually rated in Amp-Hours

(AH).

Car and truck batteries, usually rated in Reserve Capacity (RC), Cold-Cranking Amps

(CCA).

Marine, or deep cycle batteries are usually rated in either Amp-Hours or Reserve Capacity (RC).

Voltmeter

Method

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To find the time needed to fully charge your battery, determine the battery'scharge level with a voltmeter or electronic State-of-Charger Tester. Use the table below to convert Voltmeter and State-of-Charge readings at room temperature to the appropriate Charge Factor. Then use the formulas that follow the table to determine the approximate charge time.
