Default RE: when is battery fully charged?

You really can't unless watching a very accurate voltmeter or checking the battery temperature. When the voltage starts to drop or the temp really starts to climb fast it is full.

Once you do it a few times and run it a number of times you'll be an expert at estimating it.
