What Should Be the Charging Voltage and Current for a Car Battery?
1 Answers
The optimal charging voltage for a car battery is 16V. Generally, the smallest car battery is 36AH. Here is more information: 1. Car regulator. The limit voltage of the car regulator is not the voltage that allows the battery to be fully charged. When the regulator's limit voltage is normal, during the charging process from the generator to the battery, it can only charge each cell to about 2.4V. 2. Battery charger. The battery charger uses imported power modules and is currently the latest high-frequency electronic circuit intelligent automatic charger, with low loss and high efficiency. The charger also has reverse connection protection. If it is not connected or the polarity is reversed, there will be no voltage output. It will only work properly when correctly connected and also has protections against overvoltage, overcurrent, and overheating. 3. The relationship between charging current and battery size. The charging current is generally 0.1-0.2C (C is the capacity value). For a 36AH battery, 4-8A is more appropriate, while for a larger 80AH battery, the charging current should be 8-16A.
