Lightbulb Full charge?

After reading various threads I saw that bits only get charged a small amount of a stock battery in 45 seconds. I just purchased a 160mah battery how many charges would it take to fill it?.....5?.....10?

You may be able to charge 5 times with that battery, maybe. Just take the car off after each charge and check the bottom of the car under the battery, when it gets warm, that is fully charged (close to it). Do not allow it to get too hot! A peak charged battery gets warm at full capacity. Use at your own risk.

Here's the math...

2xAA alkalines puts out about 2A, when broken down comes out to about 25mA per 45 second charge.

160/25 = 6.4 charges needed.

Since it's not an exact science, you'd really need about 7 or 8 charges.

zipzaps have 100mah cells. 2-3 charges should do it.

i dont think so. a long time ago when i had a working zipzap i would charge 3 times and get 15mins easily.

now i have 2 100mah batteries in my muscle bit and i tripple charge from my 4aa charger and get 10mins easily.

Does that mean if you charge a 50mah and a 150mah on a single charge, that they will last for the same amount of time? It's just that the 150mah battery can hold more?

if the battery was peak charged, would the battery be at its warmest? i guess what i'm asking is when it gets pretty warm, is it pretty much peak charged? i rather not pull out my voltmeter everytime i wanna charge up
