CELLS added together make "a battery". "batteries" is actually yet another incorrect usage. Nice try though.

A one cell battery is still a battery, AlwaysWrong.

A DC cell is "a cell". And an SLA has more than one cell in it, which is *why* it IS a "battery", retarded krw punk.

You are worse than Hillary Clinton.

As our failed leader once said, "Words, just words" But really now...

You're wrong again, AlwaysWrong (who wudda thunk!). SLAs also come in single-cell batteries.

You're more wrong, and that takes real work.

Word mean things. When they don't, you get Democrats.

Not the ones of those Ah ratings, idiot. The ones used for bicycles and UPSes, Etc. are also multi-cell BATTERIES. Get a clue.

And if it *is* a single cell, then the correct moniker IS "cell",

*not* battery, and IDGAF what some seventies retard did to get Webster's to change it.

You're a total retard even about the most basic of electronics learning.. We all'da thunk, and do.

A 6LR61 (9 volt) IS a "battery".

A n AAA is a "cell".

One goes and buys a pack of AA cells, or AAA cells or C cell or D cells. Just because idiot Americans have incorrectly called them "batteries" doesn't make it right.

Then WTF happened to you, you meaningless f*ck?

You didn't specify the limitations of your absolute statements, AlwaysWrong.

Wrong again, AlwaysWrong.

It is alwo a "battery".

AlwaysWrong.

What makes you *always* wrong, AlwaysWrong?

The topic was and is the SLA devices the OP is using, idiot. Nice try though, child.

Though you didn't limit your absolutes to that, moron. You state that SLAs *were* batteries, which is *wrong*. You're *always* wrong, AlwaysWrong.

Charge rate all "boils" down to battery temperature... If the battery doesn't get too hot, then go for it !

Here is one app-note that gives some good information.

For instance, C&D says to limit temperature rise to 10 degrees C. C/1 is about the highest they show here. I have heard of VRLA batteries being able to be charged at MUCH higher rates. It comes down to internal resistance while charging.

A lot of times, the user doesn't have e large enough charging source to hurt anything. If too high of current is pushed into the battery, it may quickly rise to the constant voltage stage anyway, and then the current will naturally reduce.

Battery resistance while charging/discharging is the key of course.
