CHARGE AND DISCHARGE TIME (Reference for 2 rechargeable batteries only)
Battery Size | Capacity(mAh) | Approximate Charge |
|
| Time |
AAA/Micro | 180 | 17min |
| 240 | 22min |
AAA/Mignon | 500 | 47min |
| 1100 | 103min |
C/Baby | 1800 | 2 4/5hr |
| 2000 | 3 1/8hr |
D/Mono | 2000 | 3 1/8hr |
| 4000 | 6 1/4hr |
9V/Block | 10 to 14hr |
Note: The charge time varies with brand/age/condition of rechargeable battery.
The charge and discharge time for the batteries can be estimated by the following equation:
(Battery Capacity /800mA) /80% × 60
This means that the charge time for 2 AAA size 180mAh batteries is approximately 17 minutes (the time differs if batteries are old, and not at optimal conditions).
Discharging time = (the remaining capacity of the batteries / discharge current 300Ma)
If the capacity of the batteries is 2000mAh, the discharging time is 2000mAh / 300mA= 6.7hours
