Answer to question from last issue:

About how much time should it take to recharge a drained Hawker^® 6TAGM battery?

Assuming:

it’s a healthy (fully-recoverable) battery that’s been discharged down to 11.5 volts OCV
(not sure what OCV means…it’s defined here www.hawkerbattery.com/resources/#faqs), and
the battery’s temperature is between 68^oF - 86^oF (20^oC - 30^oC), and
the charger’s output voltage is between 14.4 – 15.0 volts DC

Then, the following table applies:

Note that the more amps the charger can provide, the faster the battery can be recharged!

Did you know?

that resistance is a unit of measurement of a material’s (e.g., copper, rubber, etc.) opposition to the flow of electrical current in a direct current (DC) circuit. Note that in alternating current (AC) circuits the equivalent is called “impedance”. The measurement for both is expressed in ohms. For either AC- or DC-powered systems, measurement is usually conducted using either an ohmmeter or a multimeter with an ohmmeter setting.
