A harder question since I don't know how much the starter motor on a
50cc scooter draws:
How long does it take a 1 amp charger to recharge what is removed from
the battery after cranking for 1 minute?
Same question but for a 2/10 amp charger when on the 2 amp setting?
When on the 10 amp setting?**
If the starter draws 20 amps for 1 minute it will take 20 minutes to
replaxce the charge at 1 amp charge rate You need to know what
current is being drawn and what current the charger is putting in -
which has very little to do with what size the charger is.
And if he's cranking for 1 minute, time to get
the engine fixed. Starters don't take nearly
as much out of a battery as some people think,
assuming the engine starts normally.
Even a car size starter today is on the order of
1000W and only cranks for a couple seconds.
