The recharge process usually consists of three periods. During the first period, the
current is maintained at approximately 0.4 amperes. In the second period, the constant-
voltage control starts and the current gradually decreases as the batteries continue to
charge. In the third period, a slight current flows into the batteries to keep them fully
charged. After a complete discharge, a full recharge usually requires 24 hours (90%
recharge in 8 hours).
The chart depicted below shows the rated maximum and minimum battery voltages,
and the charge current for each of the sizes.
