A quote from sunking from the thread titled Victron charge controllers for lifepo4
As I understand 1C means 100AH divided by 1=100amps, or time to discharge the battery in one hour would be 100amps.
If 1C is 100Amp charge rate how come it takes 2hours? Shouldn't it be just 1hour?
I have also read the same about the times on other sites & wondering why can't you fully charge in say 30mins or just 1hour?
cheers
Take a fully discharged 100 AH cell, charge at 1c and it wil take you two hours to recharge to 3.6 volts @ .03 finnish current. At 1C you wil hit Absorb when the battery is roughly 60% SOC, or about 30 to 40 minutes into the charge cycle. From there another 1 to 1.5 hours to Absorb to 100%.
