Review the method below for assumptions and conventions.

How to use this tool

  1. Enter capacity to add, charging current.
  2. Select Calculate to view the result.
  3. Check the method and assumptions below before using the result.

The method, explained

Ideal charging time = amp-hours to add/current.

A WORKED EXAMPLE

Using capacity to add = 10 Ah, charging current = 2 A, the result is 5 hours. Change these example inputs to match your task; use the method above to check each step.

What to keep in mind

Excludes tapering and losses; not a charger setting recommendation. Ideal-component calculation for study and estimation. It does not select safe wiring, protective devices or component ratings for an installation.

Common questions

Which inputs does this calculation need?
