20% to preserve the lifespan of the Li-ion battery. 5.2.1. Charging rate Super B Li-ion battery can be charged in approximately 1 hour. Displayed in Table 22 are the charge times for the Li-ion battery at different charge currents. Always use the indicated charge current and end of charge voltage during charging.
The maximum charge current (Imax) for Super B batteries is 1C, however for endurance cycle life Super B suggests to limit the current to C3 (1C = nominal battery capacity, C3 = 1/3 of nominal capacity). On some chargers the maximum charger active time (t0) can be programmed.
