The car battery has 12 volts; you need MORE than that to charge it. You can't charge it with 6 volts, unless you somehow raise the voltage. In that case, how long it takes to charge the car battery will depend on the capacity of the charging device. Usually a few hours.
12.6 volts at 100% charge 12.4 volts at 75% charge 12.2 volts at 50% charge 12.0 volts at 25% charge
12.6 volts 100% charge 12.4 volts 75% charge 12.2 volts 50% charge 12.0 volts 25% charge Any less and the battery is essentially dead.
As read from the battery with a digital volt meter with engine off. 12.6 volts = 100% charge 12.4 volts = 75% charge 12.2 volts = 50% charge 12.0 volts = 25% charge
Your question needs clarification. Car battery, Cell phone battery, camera battery, etc. Question was posted in car batteries category. You can check it with a digital volt meter car not running. Set the meter to 20 volts DC. Here is what you will see. 12.6 volts = 100% charge 12.4 volts = 75% charge 12.2 volts = 50% charge 12.0 volts = 25% charge
A fully charged 12 volt automobile battery will read 12.6 volts with a digital volt meter. It will read 12.4 at 75% charge, 12.2 volts at 50% charge and 12 volts at 25% charge.
A fully charged car battery will read 12.6 volts, 75% charge will read 12.4 volts, 50% charge will read 12.2 volts, and a 25% charged battery will read 12.0 volts with the engine not running. With the engine running it will read 13.5 to 15.5 volts.
15.5 volts
I would recommend a slow charge of 10 amps at 12 volts.
12.6 volts at full charge. During charging at least 13.8 volts are applied to the battery.
like you charge a car battery....use a trickle charger set to 12 volts
you need the alternator to charge the battery with no alternator when the battery drops to about 10 volts car will not run at all.
