How long does a 9.6 volt battery take to charge?

How long it takes to charge any battery depends on how much electrical charge it can hold. The physical size of a battery can give an indication of how much charge it may hold: the larger the battery, the more electrical charge it is likely to be able to hold. or you could just divide the mAh of the battery by the output rate of the charger. ex: 5000 mAh on a 3000 milliamp output charger would be 1hr 36min. and 3300 mAh on the same charger would be 1hr 10min. and so on.
