Let:
- be the open-circuit, aka idle, voltage of a batteries bank
- be the ampere scale function of value from 0% to 100% with respect to the idle voltage, where is the total ampere capacity of the batteries bank and means having empty voltage. For example of simplicity, it could be then 20 is the empty voltage and 27.2 is the full voltage and is a batteries bank of capacity 600 ampere-hours.
- the voltage seen by the charger, for example
- be the resistance by the charging circuit and the internal resistance of the batteries bank, so the charging current is , for example ohm
What is the needed time to charge the batteries bank from idle voltage to ?
Because , it follows , therefore
By the above example, say and , then
hours
What is the total wh of the batteries bank when it is full?
wh
The better the battery, the more vertical about the curve or horizontal if X-axis and Y-axis flipped for the curve. If it is centralized at the voltage then
