Controls and Operation Estimating Battery Recharge Time 1. Use table to determine time needed to completely recharge battery based on battery type, present state of charge, and charging rate (amps). 2. If recharge time cannot be estimated from the table, calculate recharge time using the following formula: Recharge capacity (minutes) x 0.6 x 1.25 ÷ charge rate (amps) = approximate hours needed to recharge a totally discharged battery. EXAMPLE: 80 x 0.6 x 1.25 ÷ 10 = 6 hours NOTE: Example uses an
