Battery Charging Time Calculator
Calculate how long it will take to charge any battery with our comprehensive calculator. Determine optimal charging times based on battery capacity, charger power, battery chemistry, and charging efficiency.
Step 1: Battery Specifications
Understanding Battery Charging
Most batteries charge fastest from 20% to 80% capacity. Charging typically slows down above 80% to protect battery health and longevity. Always follow manufacturer charging recommendations.
Step 2: Charging Parameters
About Charging Efficiency
Charging efficiency accounts for energy loss during the charging process, typically 5-30% depending on the charger type, battery chemistry, cable quality, and ambient temperature. Higher efficiency means less energy loss.

Charging Process Breakdown
Charging Time Formulas
For Watt-hours (Wh): Time = (Battery Wh × (Target% – Current%)) / (Charger Power × Efficiency)
For Amp-hours (Ah): Time = (Battery Ah × (Target% – Current%)) / Charger Current
To calculate charging time: First convert all units to consistent measurements (Watts, Watt-hours), then divide the energy needed by the effective charging power.
