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?

    Too much amperage for a circuit is fine, for a battery is not. A circuit will present a known resistance and draw what is needed for a specific voltage. The batteries’ resistance will be very low at empty and change over the course of charge, and certain chemistries can be damaged over 1C.
