so, how many KWh does it take to charge those batteries? you need to know that, in order to do the arithmetic. 1 Hp is about .75 KW. what is the KW rating of the battery pack?

then we can do the arithmetic.

we know that household voltage is 240 max & at that voltage, 100 amps is about max.

so the maximum charging power is 24 KW. now divide that into the rating of the battery pack & then multiply by the charge per KWh.

that is what i thought i did.

always ready to be shown my errors, though.
