You can charge (When using a DC power source) at up to 5 amps with that charger. To figure out how long (in theory) it'll take to charge any given battery at whatever charge rate...just divide the capacity in mAh of the battery by the charge rate. So.. 3600 divided by 5000 (5A) = .75 or so, which, in Amp hours, is about 45 minutes. That is assuming the battery is completely discharged. Actual charge time will likely be less. When using an AC power source your max charge rate with that charger is 3 amps. That's less than a 1C (1 times the capacity of the battery) charge rate. 3600 divided by 3000 = 1.2 hours Again...that's assuming that your battery is completely discharged. Your actual charge time will probably be less. |
