our batteries too deeply, to improve their longevity, so we never require
this long a charge time. The charger indicates below 80%, above 80%
and "fully charged" with lights. The point is that it charges 5 batteries at
the same time, in varying charge states, delivering a proper 6 amp
charge to each battery concurrently. When you need to swap a battery
out of the robot you just reach for the one on the charger that has a
green light, and there are always several in that state...
