Hissing_Sid Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 As Joe said, or hinted at anyway, it depends ENTIRELY on the output of your charger. What you've asked is like saying "How long will it take me to get to Manchester if I'm 7 miles away?" Somewhere on your charger it will say something like INPUT 220~240VAC OUTPUT 9.6VDC 220mA If the above was true you do the following. 600mAh X 1.3 = 780 780 / 220 (charging current from charger) = 3.54 Charging time = 3.54 hours with a charger with 220mA output TADA! And, before you ask, it might well be the case that the output voltage IS higher than the voltage of your battery. This doesn't matter since the voltage will change when the charger is plugged into the battery. It's the CURRENT that is important. Link to post Share on other sites

joeking27 Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Theres a formula in the thread I linked to, and a calcultor on this site, very useful. Link to post Share on other sites
Hissing_Sid Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 so i have a 12v 400Ma charger and im charging a 8.4v 600 mah battery ? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 600 X 1.3 = 780 780 / 400 = 1.95 It will take 1.95 hours to charge your battery. Call it 2 hours. Knock yourself out. Link to post Share on other sites
