CALCULATING CHARGE TIME14.
The Chart Method14.1
Use the following table to more accurately determine the time it will take to
bring a battery to full charge. First, identify where your battery ts into the
chart.
Small batteries — motorcycles, garden tractors, etc. — are usually rated
in Ampere Hours (AH). For example: 6 to 12 AH, or 12 to 32 AH.
Batteries in cars and smaller trucks are usually rated in Reserve Capacity
(RC), Cold-Cranking Amps (CCA), or both.
Marine or deep-cycle batteries are usually rated in Reserve Capacity
(RC).
NR means that the charger setting is NOT RECOMMENDED.
Find your battery’s rating on the chart below and note the charge time
given for each charger setting. The times given are for batteries with a
50-percent charge rate prior to recharging. Add more time for severely
discharged batteries.
