No, it is not wrong.
However, while it is entirely up to you to do what you want with your life, you possibly need / should have more in your life than babysitting.
You have already brought up your family (son) and while, as a grandparent, it is enjoyable to see your grandchildren and help out your family, your life is passing by and there may be other things you should be doing with it in your retirement - (while you have the health/can).
In some respects therefore you are allowing your son to use you and this is not altogether healthy for you (or him).
In monetary terms how much would it cost him to purchase 50 hours child care a week (alot more than $65 - perhaps $650-$1000) and in this respect what you are charging is not enough!
I am not suggesting that you stop babysitting if that is what you actually WANT to do but I suspect from your question 2 things:-
1) that ,as you want some payment, you are not actually happy about what is being asked of you and would like some 'me time'.
2) that your son is moaning about you wanting to be paid - in which case you are being "used".
If this is the case I suggest you ask your son to make other arrangements but make it clear that you are there to help (for free) if there are any emergencies that may need babysitting cover.

Depends on the charging current. A general guideline is that you overshoot with around 1.4 times the capacity when you charge, so if your charge current is 1 amp, you need to charge for a little more than 4 hours for a full charge. If charge current is 0.5 amps you need about eight and a half hours for a full charge.
