How many hours does it take to charge a 72V 20Ah battery?
1 Answers
For an electric vehicle equipped with a 72V 20Ah battery, the charging time from a fully discharged state is approximately 8 to 10 hours. Below are detailed explanations: 1. Charging Duration For an electric vehicle equipped with a 72V 20Ah battery, the charging time from a fully discharged state is approximately 8 to 10 hours. It is generally recommended to continue floating charging for 2 hours after the indicator light turns green before disconnecting the power. 2. Charging Capacity For lead-acid batteries used in electric vehicles, the typical charging capacity is 1.05 times the discharged capacity. For a 72V 20Ah battery, assuming it is fully discharged (i.e., at rated capacity), the required charging capacity would be 20 * 1.05 = 21Ah. With an average charging voltage of 77.4V, the total power consumption is approximately 1.63 kWh.
