Charging time according to vehicle conditions and environment
▶
Specification: Charging a fully depleted high-
capacity battery takes twice or more as long as
charging a fully depleted battery for small
vehicles.
Temperature: The lower the temperature is, the
longer the time taken to charge the battery.
When connecting the battery charger to the cold
battery, the amount of current the battery can
accept initially is very small. As the battery gets
warmer, it can accept more current.
Charging capacity: Charging a battery with a low-capacity charger takes longer time than charging with
a high-capacity charger.
Charging status: Charging a fully depleted battery takes twice or more as long as charging a half-
depleted battery. Since the electrolyte in a fully depleted battery consists of nearly pure water and
conductor, only a very small amount of current can be accepted by the battery initially. The charging
current increases as the amount of acids in the electrolyte is increased by the charging current.
