I have a 9V 180 ma discharged Nimh battery that I am charging at 25ma.

How long will it take to charge?

Thanks,
Andy

** What you have is a 180 mAh battery: h = hour.
You do the math.

Isn't it 180mAh?
milliampere hours and not only milliampere?

(180mAh)/(25mA)=7,2h

** The OP posted a question from some test he had to do.
So no such correction factor is needed.

For slow charge (8hr) rates - 40% might be OK.
But absolutely not for fast charging, or the cells will cook.
