Can a 12 volt 1 amp battery charger recharge a 12 volt 180 Ah battery?
Yes, but it would take a very very long time. You really need at least a 10 amp charger.
Can a 12v 10amps battery charger be used to charge a 12v 88ah battery?
Yes, a 12 volt battery charger will charge a 12 volt battery. The 88 amp hour is the capacity of the battery. It means that you can draw a load of 1 amp for 88 hours, 2 amps for 44 hours, 4 amps for 22 hours or what ever combination you want that will result in an answer of 88.
How long does it take to charge a 12 volt lawn mower battery with a 1 amp charger?
If it is totally dead it will take at least 12 hours.
Can you use a 3.5 amp charger to charge a 12 volt battery?
You can charge a 12 volt battery with a 6 AMP charger. The amount of amps put out by the charger is actually the rate which the power flows out from the charger, not the amount of volts it will charge. Volts and Amps are two different things. You can't charge up a 12 volt battery all the way, using a 6 volt charger. You can charge a 12 volt battery with a 12 volt charger rated at '6 amps'. It will charge the battery faster than a 2 amp charger will, but it will take longer than using a 12 amp charger. You probably don't want to use anything higher than a 12-16 amp charger for charging a 12 volt battery. Some chargers are equipped with a 60amp boost charge that is used for starting the vehicle, without having much of a charge in the battery. You DO NOT want to attempt charging a battery with it set to a 60amp boost charge. That is for starting vehicles only and could damage your battery. Keep in mind that the lower the amps are, that you use to charge the battery (1-2amps), will result in the charge lasting longer without recharging it, than if it was charged up at a higher setting (12-16amps).
What does 8Ahmean on a 12 volt battery?
Amp hours is a battery rating. It means that this battery can sustain 1 amp for 8 hours up to 8 amps for 1 hour. Depending on what the current draw is on the load will determine the length of time the battery will last.
What is a trickle charger?
A battery charger that is outputting 1 amp or less is considered a trickle charger.
Can a 5 volt 1.4 amp charger be used to charge a 5 volt 1 amp battery?
Yes. A battery draws what it needs from the charger, the charger does not force current into the battery. The voltage spec. is the same. Things would be different if you were to try to charge a five volt battery with a ten volt charger. You would probably blow the battery. Hope this helps.
How many amps can I charge a 12v battery?
You can safely charge it with a 15 amp charger. You can also charge it with a 1 amp charger it will just take longer. Do not overcharge the battery.

How do you charge a battery on a Honda motorcycle?
Use a low rate charger only, 1 amp or less.
What is stronger a 1 amp battery charger or a 9v battery?
You cannot compare these two totally different things. As far as amperage the charger puts out more amps if it is an auto battery charger and also puts out 12 volts. If you are talking about a 9 volt battery charger then the battery may or may not be more powerful, it depends on how many mii-amps the charger is putting out.
Can you use a 12 amp charger to charge 6 amp battery?
