Hi Could Any Of You Tell Me How Many Amps The Reading On My Battery Charger Will Go Up To To Indicate Full Charge I Want To Try And Start My Car Up For The First Time This Afternoon Thanks,

Its Just Over 1 Amp Now.

14.4V is the running voltage, but in a 12V batt.....about 12V!

The Readings Are Only In Amps Not Volts So How Will I Know When Its Charged?

darkside do you know the hill twins?? one is called jemma?? they live in march its not a big place is it?

I spend one day a week there at the moment because i work away, mrs might though!

well i just got a new batt that has a 720 amp starting current and rate 72 ah, so looks like you still have away to go yet mate!i think the normal batt is about 580?! not sure though.

have a look at the AH rating on your battery , (probably around 50AH)

this is how many amps for how many hours. so if your charger provides 1A then it will take 50 hours to charge

 

 

alternativly, how many amps can your charger supply / did it supply when you first started charging the battery. if it was about 10 amps and it has now dropped to 1A then it is probably fairly well charged.

I think the current going through your batter charger will drop as the battery becomes fully charged.

 

Leave it overnight at least if the battery was flat before.

When the battery is fully charged, the current drawn from the charger will be 0Amps.

Just charge it till you can start it! :D

 

Then take it on a good long run.
