OPERATION SAFETY
(A battery at 50 percent charge that
will be charged to 100 percent
needs another 50 percent (.50).
Multiply the Amp Hour rating by the
charge needed (.50) and divide by
the charger setting (2 or 6 amps).
Multiply the result by 1.25 and you’ll
have the approximate time needed,
in hours, to bring the battery to full
charge.
Add one additional hour for a deep-
cycle battery.
Calculating Charge Time (Continued)
When you know the percent of charge
and the AmpHour (AH) rating of your
battery, you can calculate the approx-
imate time needed to bring your battery
to a full charge.
To convert Reserve Capacity to Amp
Hour (AH) Rating, divide Reserve
Capacity by 2, and add 16:
AH =
Reserve Capacity + 16
2
To calculate time needed for a
charge:
Find the percent of charge needed.
CONVERSION EXAMPLE:
Amp Hour Rating x % of Charge Needed x 1.25 = Hours of Charge
Charger Setting
100 (AH Rating) x .50 (charge needed) x 1.25 = 10.4 Hours
6 (Charger Setting)
100 x .50 8.33 x 1.25 = 10.4
6
You would need to charge your 100-Ampere Hour Battery for approximately 10½
hours at the 6-Amp charge rate using the above example.
