If the capacity is given in amp-hours and current in amps, time will be in hours (charging or discharging). For example, 100 Ah battery delivering 1A, would last 100 hours. Or if delivering 100A, it would last 1 hour. In other words, you can have "any time" as long as when you multiply it by the current, you get 100 (the battery capacity).
Customer ServiceThe battery charging voltage for a lead-acid battery varies with the type, charging method and purpose of the battery. Usually, the charging voltage ranges from 2.25 to 2.45 volts. Upon charging, a lead-acid battery passes through three stages; bulk, absorption and float. This also leads to a variation of voltage in these stages. Pro Tip: Always use a battery
Customer ServiceThe energy stored in a battery, called the battery capacity, is measured in either watt-hours (Wh), kilowatt-hours (kWh), or ampere-hours (Ahr).

Charging schemes generally consist of a constant current charging until the battery voltage reaching the charge voltage, then constant voltage charging, allowing the charge current to taper until it is very small.
The most common measure of battery capacity is Ah, defined as the number of hours for which a battery can provide a current equal to the discharge rate at the nominal voltage of the battery. The unit of Ah is commonly used when working with battery systems as the battery voltage will vary throughout the charging or discharging cycle.
(Recommended) Charge Current – The ideal current at which the battery is initially charged (to roughly 70 percent SOC) under constant charging scheme before transitioning into constant voltage charging. (Maximum) Internal Resistance – The resistance within the battery, generally different for charging and discharging.
All battery parameters are affected by battery charging and recharging cycle. A key parameter of a battery in use in a PV system is the battery state of charge (BSOC). The BSOC is defined as the fraction of the total energy or battery capacity that has been used over the total available from the battery.
Here is a general overview of how the voltage and current change during the charging process of lithium-ion batteries: Voltage Rise and Current Decrease: When you start charging a lithium-ion battery, the voltage initially rises slowly, and the charging current gradually decreases. This initial phase is characterized by a gentle voltage increase.
