To charge a battery you have to supply energy. But you never get as much energy from the battery as you use to charge it. Why is this? |

Answer» As you charge the resistance converts some of your charging ENERGY to heat. (NOTE that watts = power = energy/time = Joules/sec). SAY you're charging a 10V battery at a rate of 100 watts (STORED energy per time). For a PERFECT battery that would require you apply 10V at 10 Amps |
