Basi question.Got a leisure battery,it's charged to full 12 volts but
how can I tell how many amps it holds? thanks.

thanks to all for the replies. I'll check it all out and see if I canBasi question.Got a leisure battery,it's charged to full 12 volts but

thanks to all for the replies. I'll check it all out and see if I can
figure it out.I have a Halfords charger that I use when charging my
caravan battery[110Amps] and when it is charged the light goes green
and is is switched off.These two batteries I have are 12 volt but
there is no Amp total on it.It merely states output 12VDC and Max DC
2.6Amps.What I wanted to know is; although it shows 12.6 Volts how do
I know it has 2.6Amps in it.Thanks anyway.

battery I had another look at the instructions.It says its a "lead
acid storage battery ,normal capacity 17AH 12V,charging time 250
times.
I have a feeling it is not fully amped up[if thats right!] but my
Halfords charger switches to green when the volts is up to above 12
volts. How can I tell that they have 17 AH stored in there.
PS. They are golf trolley batteries and the charger that came with
them has no measurement to say what's going on.I could leave them
charged for a week for all I know with no indication when they are
charged.Got me beat.Thanks again.

What do you mean 2.6 amps in it? That statement doesn't mean anything, amps
are an instantaneous measurement, not an accumulated quantity. May be a
little confusing but saying a battery has 2.6 amps in it is like saying it's
15 mph to the grocery store, you have no way to know the total quantity
(distance) from that statement.
Not really,it says it will run fully charged for 20Km and as I playSorry to mess you all about but although nothing is marked on the

A 17 Ah battery is rather small for a golf trolley. I'd expect more like
70. Unless you only do 9 hole courses. ;-)

Fully charged will do.
but my Halfords charger switches to green when the volts is up to above

It will likely only switch off at rather higher than that.

It's likely the batteries are simply knackered. If the charger is saying
they are fully charged by switching off, you could try discharging them
with a known load - say a car headlamp bulb at 55 watts. A 17 Ah battery
will have a capacity of 17 x 12 ie about 200 watt hours, so should run
that bulb for more than 3 hours.

Thanks for that but is not like my caravan battery with top upIs your question now--How do I tell if the battery is fully charged?
Check the specific gravity of the fluid in the cells.
Thanks for that but is not like my caravan battery with top up
cells.This one is completely sealed with no way to check.I suppose you
buy new when it looks knackered.Regards
Thank you all,one last question and I'll leave you in peace! if,asThat would be true below some rated current. The 55 watts may be
greater than this value and the battery might drain faster than
expected by what the math is telling us. If the battery under this
condition shows less capacity does it then mean it is bad?
Thank you all,one last question and I'll leave you in peace! if,as
stated,17 AH seems a bit low will it hurt my two 150 motors that drive
both wheels,if I tried it, with say a 90AH battery? I have one in the
caravan and thought better to ask in case I knacker everything
up.Thanks a lot.regards Harry
