CALCULATING CHARGE TIME

Use the following table to more accurately determine the time it will take to bring a
battery to full charge. First, identify where your battery fits into the chart.

RC = Reserve Capacity
Ah = Amp Hour
NR means that the charger setting is NOT RECOMMENDED.
Find your battery's rating on the chart below, and note the charge time given for each
charger setting. The times given are for batteries with a 50% charge prior to recharging.
Add more time for severely discharged batteries.
