How to Detect When the Battery is Fully Charged?
1 Answers
Detecting when the battery is fully charged can be determined by the charging time. Typically, a household car battery has a capacity of around 60Ah, and the required charging current is one-tenth of the battery capacity, which is 6A. Charging at this current usually takes about 3 to 5 hours to fully charge the battery. If a lower current is used for charging, it may take around 10 hours to fully charge. A battery, also known as an accumulator, is a type of cell that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. It mainly consists of lead and its oxides as electrodes, with a sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. Types include lead-acid batteries, nickel-iron batteries, and nickel-cadmium batteries.
