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?

    It means it’s going to take at least 1h20 until the battery is fully charged.

    Given it’s the correct charger. Because these values don’t say anything about that. It could also damage the battery or catch on fire if it’s some random charger that isn’t supposed to be used with that battery.

      It’s a power-tools charger that came with the tools. The earlier batteries were 1.5Ah, the newer are 2Ah.

        Seems legit then. So the new batteries have more capacity (Ah). That’s nice, a product that got better in the next generation. The value on the charger is just the current flow. It’s fine if it’s less in comparison. You just can’t have too much current going into the battery or a wrong voltage or chemistry.
