it should take 6 hours total usage time to have a good battery reach 80% of discharge (20% remaining)
try not to exceed as it can damage boards and contact tipsfrom low voltage (new machines will cut out lift and enter limp home mode to tell u it needs to charge) and dont charge too early as you will decrese the useful duty cycle over time

8 8 8 rule -
8 hour shift
8 hour charge
8 hour cooldown
chargers heat up the battery in the final charge phase to mix the water and acid properly and need a long time to cool back down to operating temp another reason y quick charges are more bad than good

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
