3.
Multiply the results by 1.25 and you will have the total time needed, in hours, to bring
the battery to full charge.
4.
Add an additional hour for a deep-cycle battery.
Example:
Amp Hour Rating x % of charge needed x 1.25 = hours of charge
100 (AH Rating) x 0.50 (charge needed) x 1.25 = 3.125 hours
20 (Charge Rate Setting)
100 x 0.50 x 1.25 = 3.125
20
You would need to charge your 100-Ampere Hour Battery for a little more than 3 hours
at the 20-Amp charge rate using the above example.

battery.
The settings may be wrong.
Check the charger settings.
Have the battery checked.
Circuit breaker cycles when
current draw is too high.
Check for shorted cables or
cconnector and replace if
necessary.
The battery may not want to
