Enter the battery capacity and the charge rate current into the calculator to determine the total time to charge to 100%.

Battery Charge Formula

The following equation is used to calculate the battery charge time to 100% from 0%.

T = C/R
  • Where T is the total time hours
  • C is the capacity in mAH
  • R is the rate in mA

To calculate the total time of battery charge, divide the capacity by the rate.

Battery Charge Definition

A battery charge is defined as the total amount of time it takes a battery to charge from 0 to 100% or near 100%.
