Understanding how Base charges and discharges its batteries
In this post, we''ll help you understand your battery''s state of charge, explain how it connects to energy rates and outage protection, and clear up a few common misconceptions.
In this post, we''ll help you understand your battery''s state of charge, explain how it connects to energy rates and outage protection, and clear up a few common misconceptions.
Typically, the charging current is set to about 10% of the battery''s amp-hour (Ah) capacity, with charging time estimated by dividing the battery capacity by the charging current
Understanding how to calculate Charging Current and Time is essential for anyone working with batteries—whether you''re managing off-grid solar systems, electric vehicles, or
If you''re not sure what to expect the first time you pull up to a public electric vehicle (EV) charging station, read on to understand the connectors, how
In this post, we''ll help you understand your battery''s state of charge, explain how it connects to energy rates and outage protection, and clear up a few
During charging, the charger needs to provide enough current multiplied by the charging time to meet the total capacity of the battery.
If you''re not sure what to expect the first time you pull up to a public electric vehicle (EV) charging station, read on to understand the connectors, how to use the charging station, as well as how
Charging Current (A): The current supplied by the charger to the battery, measured in amperes (A). Charging Time (h): The duration
The charge level of your Base battery will naturally fluctuate over time, rising and falling throughout a multi-day cycle. This is a normal and necessary part of how the system operates,

When using Level 1 (L1) and Level 2 (L2) charging stations, these stations supply alternating current (AC) power into the EV''s
When using Level 1 (L1) and Level 2 (L2) charging stations, these stations supply alternating current (AC) power into the EV''s onboard charger. The onboard charger then
Charging Current (A): The current supplied by the charger to the battery, measured in amperes (A). Charging Time (h): The duration required to charge the battery fully.
During charging, the charger needs to provide enough current multiplied by the charging time to meet the total capacity of the battery. For example, a 2500mAh battery, if
