Recharge Time:
The time for a full charge from 0% to 100% state of charge is typically 4.5 hours.
Recalibration Time
The recalibration cycle begins by discharging away any residual capacity. Then a calibration
charge is delivered to the battery. This is followed by a calibration discharge. Finally the battery
is given a regular charge. A calibration cycle will be faster if the battery is fully discharged to
begin with.
The recalibration time is approximately 9 hours for an empty battery, and approximately
14 hours for a fully-charged battery.
