What is the difference between Trickle charge and boost charge of a battery?
It's in the amount of current that is used to charge the battery. If the amp-hour (Ah) capacity of the battery is known, charging at the 5-hour rate or quicker would count as a boost charge, while charging at the 20-hour rate or slower would be a trickle charge. So for a 40 Ah battery, a boost charge is more than 8 amps while a trickle charge is less than 2 amps. A normal charge would be 4 amps.
Can 600 va ups charge 145 ah battery?
You would have to know the voltages of the battery and the UPS to know for sure. For example if the UPS' output is 120 volts, then it is capable of 5 amps of output. If the battery is also 120 volts, then it would take the UPS 29 hours to fully charge the battery. However if the battery was rated at 220 volts, then the UPS would never completely charge the battery. The source of the charging voltage must exceed the battery's voltage in order to fully charge it.
