How to confirm charging current

Make sure to know the maximum charging current of the battery before charging, never use excessive current to charge to damage your battery, which will result in overheat even explosion during the charging process. The charging and discharging rate of battery is usually marked with C value. Multiplying the charging C value and battery capacity equals to the maximum charging current supported by the battery. For example, for a 1000mAh battery with a charging rate of 5C, the maximum charging current would be 1000×5=5000 mA; therefore, the maximum charging current is 5 A. For a lithium battery, if it is impossible to confirm the supported charging C value, please set the charging current below 1C, for the sake of its (lithium battery) safety. The reference relation between C value and charging time: charging time ≥60 minutes/ charging C value (e.g. it needs around 60–70 minutes to complete charging with 1C). Due to differences in battery conversion efficiency, the time to complete the charging might be extended.
