What are the best settings for charging a 24v 12ah Lead Acid Battery?

AI Thread Summary
The optimum charging settings for a 24v 12ah lead acid battery involve maintaining a constant voltage while selecting an appropriate current. A charging current of around 10% of the battery's capacity, or 1.2 amps, is generally recommended to ensure faster charging without damaging the battery. It's important to monitor the charging process to prevent overheating and overcharging. Following guidelines from reliable sources, such as Battery University, can provide additional insights into safe charging practices. Proper settings are crucial for maximizing battery lifespan and performance.

Hi, can someone tell me what are the optimum settings for a charger to charge a 24v 12ah Lead Acid Battery? I know that the voltage stays the same. I just need to know what current will cause the faster charging and, at the same time, won't destroy the battery.

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
