NOTE: The temperature of the battery and the equipment the battery is used with has an effect
on battery efficiency and system power requirements. For example, at 0
operating at 40% of its rated efficiency, while the engine requires over twice the power at 80
(27

DETERMINING CHARGING TIME
To determine charging time for the battery, you can use a chart or a formula.
To use the chart:
1. Locate the state of charge (SOC) percentage, reserve capacity (RC), and voltage in the
table below for the type of battery you are charging.
2. Move across the row until you find the amperage for the type of battery you are charging.
Refer to "Controls," page 7 for the amp values.
The number of hours or minutes is the amount of time you need to charge the battery.
WARNING: High amperage rates might boil and overcharge the battery. Do not leave the
charger unattended. Refer to the battery manufacturer charging instructions.
