Can I use different Ah battery?

Can I use different Ah battery?

CAN I SUBSTITUTE A LOWER AMP HOUR (AH) BATTERY WITH A HIGHER ONE? As long as the battery that you are substituting is the same voltage, you can use a higher capacity (higher Ah) battery than the original one. You must also keep in mind that the charge time for a higher Ah battery will be longer than a lower Ah battery.

Do I need a bigger battery for my amp?

Adding a battery to your current car electrical system will store more power, but it will also increase the load to the alternator. Large audio systems typically use higher output and/or multiple amplifiers that can draw a large amount of current (amps) from the vehicle’s electrical system.

Which is correct 5AH or 5 amp battery?

The measurement is often misunderstood as, for example, “a 5Ah battery will power a 5 amp device for one hour”. This is wrong. The Amp Hour rating means nothing on its own unless you also know:

How many amps are in a 12ah battery?

So for a 12Ah battery 1C = 12 amps. In the graph above we would replace 12A with 1C, 24A with 2C and 36A with 3C. The industry standard ‘hour rate’ is 20, but that doesn’t mean all manufacturers follow it.

How long does it take to charge a 10 amp battery?

It would take a 10 amp charger about 11 hours to recharge a dead battery to near 100% full charge. To calculate your total charge time, a good rule of thumb is to take the amp hour rating of the battery and divide by the charger rating (amps) and then add about 10% for the extra time to totally top off the battery.

What does amp hour mean on a battery?

The Amp Hour rating means nothing on its own unless you also know: 1 The temperature of the environment that the battery was tested in 2 The ‘hour rate’ that was used 3 What the battery powered 4 The end voltage (As a battery discharges its voltage also reduces – see Battery Glossary – Voltage for the detail)
