Hi. I should probably already know this, but I don’t, so I thought I’d ask here.

If I have a charger marked as 1,5A and then try to charge a battery with 2Ah, what will happen?

  • Is the battery going to be charged, but slower?
  • Charged but not fully?
  • Not charged at all?

    Ah is capacity, A is flow rate. As long as the voltages are correct, it’ll charge eventually.

    Ah == size of the bucket, A is the size of the hose you fill it with.

      Very easy to understand analogy. Thanks for that. Makes it very clear on how it works. Doesn’t sound like a too small hose should cause problems then?

          Bad only in a time sense. There’s nothing bad safety wise, slow charging decreases heat and prolongs battery longevity.
