How long does it take to charge a 100ah leisure battery?
If you have a 100 amp-hour (Ah) leisure battery and you have used it to 50%, you will need to replace the 50Ah. The alternator delivers 5A to the leisure battery; therefore, it will take 10 hours of driving to recharge the battery. If youre using the mains charger, then expect a max of 3-4 hours.
How do you know when a leisure battery is fully charged?
