So Ive been checking out multiple chargers and I am currently using a 4amp charger. I have been reading a lot and some people say charge at 1amp, some at 8 amps.
I was thinking of buying an adjustable charger but unsure if I need one.
I saw a post where is stated:
"C is a factor for expressing the current flow rate for a battery based on its capacity:
For a 10Ah battery 1C = 1 x 10 =10A
For a 20Ah battery 1C = 1 x 20 = 20A
For a 5Ah battery 2C = 2 x 5 =10A
For a 34Ah battery 0.2C = 0.2 x 34 = 6.8A."
From here:
"
Would a lower amperage be better for charging?
