CHARGE PERIOD
The approximate required time to bring a battery to full charge state depends upon the number of ampere-hours (AH)
depleted from the battery. AH are determined by multiplying the number of hours times the number of Amps supplied by a
battery to a load and normally indicated on the battery. For example - if a load was connected to a battery, which drew 7
Amps for a period of 5 hours, the battery will have supplied 35 AH. The approximate recharge time would then be calculated
by dividing the 35 AH deplet
