** The OP posted a question from some test he had to do. So no such correction factor is needed. For slow charge (8hr) rates - 40% might be OK. But absolutely not for fast charging, or the cells will cook. ..... Phil

For nickel based batteries, you normally add 40-50% to compansate for charging efficiency. -- RoRo

Isn't it 180mAh? milliampere hours and not only milliampere?
> How long will it take to charge?
(180mAh)/(25mA)=7,2h

** What you have is a 180 mAh battery: h = hour. You do the math. ...... Phil

I have a 9V 180 ma  discharged Nimh battery that I am charging at 25ma.

How long will it take to charge?

Thanks,
