Status: offline 		It will depend on the rate you choose (amp = hr rate)

Since we won't know how much capacity is left in the battery when started there's no way to tell.

A good guess if the battery is empty is 55 minutes at the max rate of 5 amps. (5 amps delivers 5000 in one hr)

If you choose 2.5 amps it will double the time.

Status: offline 		Below is a quick and easy way to figure this out. It's not 100% accurate, but close enough for estimation.

Capacity/Charge Rate x 60 = charge time in minutes

4600/5000 x 60 = 55.2

Let me know if you need anything else.

Do you have any clue what the runtimes would be on a stampede?....completely stock.

Sorry if this is off topic.
