riggers Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Hi all can some one tell me how long to charge my. 12v 17 amp lead sealed battery for many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Most battery chargers will have an indicator that says when the battery is fully charged. A slow 'trickle' charge is better for the battery than a boost one. I keep my batteries fully charged by leaving them, when not in use, connected to trickle chargers, which use very little electricity. Steve.

deershooter Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 It is quite simple it is the amp-hour of the battery divided by the charge rate 17 amp-hour battery @ 500 milliamp = 34 hours for a full charge 17 amp-hour battery @ 2 amp = 8.5 hour for a full charge the smaller the charge rate the better for the batteries :good: Deershooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Is that the battery optimate like for motorcycles No. These are small trickle chargers that cost £5 each from Ebay. I have 3 on the go, and they are brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
