Battery Rating – A higher rated battery will take longer to

charge than a lower rated battery under the same conditions. A

battery is rated in ampere-hours (Ah), reserve capacity (RC)

and cold-cranking amps (CCA).

Charge Rate – The charge rate is measured in amps. A battery

charged at a lower rate will take longer than a battery charged

at a higher rate. However, smaller batteries can be easily

damaged by charging at a rate which is too high for the

capacity of the battery.

Temperature – Cold temperature will affect a battery’s ability to

accept a charge. Charging in cold temperatures will increase

the amount of time required to charge a battery.

DESULFATION

If the battery is left discharged for an extended period, the

battery could become sulfated. A sulfated battery will not

accept a normal charge.
