How long does it take a car battery to charge with 1.5 amp trickle charger?

To calculate the charging time, we need to know the battery's capacity and the charging current. Let's assume the car battery has a capacity of 50 amp-hours (Ah) and the trickle charger provides a constant charging current of 1.5 amps.

Using Ohm's Law, we can calculate the time it takes to fully charge the battery:

Charging time (in hours) = (Battery Capacity in Ah) / (Charging Current in amps)

Charging time = 50 Ah / 1.5 A

Charging time ≈ 33.3 hours

Therefore, it would take approximately 33.3 hours to fully charge a 50 Ah car battery using a 1.5 amp trickle charger. However, it's important to note that this is just an approximate calculation and the actual charging time may vary depending on factors such as the battery's age, condition, temperature, and charging efficiency of the trickle charger.
