The charge and discharge time for the batteries can be estimated
by the following equation:
(Battery Capacity /800mA) /80% × 60
This means that the charge time for 2 AAA size 180mAh batteries
is approximately 17 minutes (the time differs if batteries are old,
and not at optimal conditions).
Discharging time = (the remaining capacity of the batteries / discharge
current 300Ma)
If the capacity of the batteries is 2000mAh, the discharging time is
2000mAh / 300mA= 6.7hours
