the time it takes to charge a battery is governed by the amps the higher the amps the quicker the recharge time. Excessive charge rate will 'cook' the battery and it will be scrap.
It might even explode and cover you in acid.
Use a proper charger and check the correct charge rate for your particular battery.
It typically takes around 1-3 hours to fully charge a 7.2V NiMH battery, depending on the capacity of the battery and the charging rate of the charger being used. It is important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for charging to ensure optimal performance and safety.
To calculate the wattage needed to charge a 12V battery in 6 hours, you need to know the battery's capacity in amp-hours (Ah). Once you have the Ah rating, you can use the formula Watts = Volts x Amps to determine the wattage required for charging. Multiply the battery's voltage (12V) by its capacity in Ah, then divide by the charging time in hours (6 hours). This will give you the minimum wattage needed to charge the battery in 6 hours.
That would depend on how many amps are drawn at 1.5V. A watt is a measure of power. Electrical power is determined by electrical potential (voltage) and electron flow (current). Power = Voltage * Current To find your answer, you need to know the current consumption of your load to know how many watts it is consuming. If you are trying to figure out how many watts can be provided from a source, say from a 1.5V battery, you would need to know the current output of the battery (which is usually provided in Ah, which tells you how many amps it can produce in one hour).
The two are not related. Voltage is a measure of electrical potential, and watts is a measure of the work performed by an electrical device. Power equals volts times amperes. So you have to look at your fuse, e.g. 3 amps and calculate: 12 volts times 3 amps equals 36 watts.
To determine the hours a 3600-watt load will last on a 637 amp battery, you need to convert the wattage to amperes. You can do this by dividing the wattage by the voltage of the battery. Assuming a standard 12-volt battery, 3600 watts divided by 12 volts equals a current of 300 amps. Dividing the battery capacity (637 amp-hours) by the current (300 amps) gives you approximately 2.12 hours of runtime.

Hi, To properly charge a battery, you should apply a voltage that causes current to flow (being careful to get the plus and minus hooked up properly!) at about 1/10th the amp/hour rating of the battery. For a 7.2 amp/hour battery you should not charge much faster than 0.72 amps. This is the best practice to prolong the life of your battery. Chris
I doubt the charger is putting out 30 Amps on a slow charge. need more info on battery and charger.
Need to know what the maximum output in amps or mA the battery charger can produce.
The formula you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts. 300/24 = 12.5 amps. A good charger with an output of 15 amps will do the job nicely. The time that it will take to charge the battery will depend on the amp/hrs of the connected battery and the state of discharge that the battery is in when charging starts.
It depends on how long you can let it sit before you need to use it. If you have 8 to 10 hours then a setting of 2 amps is appropriate. For a quicker charge then 12 to 20 amps is recommended.
One view: Some batteries come with a charge which may or not start the motorcycle. I have seen batteries come that are not topped off with acid, but the acid is sent in a separate container that you need to pour in. I would say in most cases that you need to charge or jump the new battery. Take it for a 10 minute ride and you should be good to go. Alternate view: When you put the acid in the battery it does charge itself somewhat, but not fully (perhaps only 75%). That is why it says to charge it, follow the instructions with the battery! When you charge it fully it makes the battery last longer. To charge the battery, you have to buy a battery charger and you need one that will only charge at 2 amps. A "smart" battery "tender" may not work as it may register the battery as fully charged. You need to use a simple (non computerized) 1-2 amp trickle charger. There are rules about the max rates to trickle charge, I've seen 10% of rated cold cranking amps (CCA). Lower amperage will be safer but take longer to charge.
It typically takes around 1-3 hours to fully charge a 7.2V NiMH battery, depending on the capacity of the battery and the charging rate of the charger being used. It is important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for charging to ensure optimal performance and safety.
Should be OK. If the motor draw is 200 watts, and the charge current is 20 amps, you've got (12 x 20) = 240 watts in and only 200 out. The battery will charge at a rate of (40/12) about 3.3 amps, so be aware that (i) the battery will take longer to charge than if the motor wasn't running, and (ii) once you stop the motor, the charge current is the whole 20 amps and you'd need to be sure that the battery won't overcharge.
That depends on several factors: If the car battery is FULLY discharged, a starter can pull as much as 200 AMPS when you try to start the engine, depending on the size of the engine. If the car battery is only "low", but still carries a pretty good charge, you might be able to get by with considerably less than 200 AMPS.
To charge any battery the voltage of the input must be more than the battery's output.
Cranking amps determine the amount of power that it takes to start a car in most climates. The amount of cranking amps that a battery for a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee has would entirely depend on the type of battery that the vehicle has.
