    I have a Toyota battery for my Toyota Tacoma. Battery size is 27F with 700 CCA.

    I had to charge the battery recently, and the new battery charger I bought wanted me to enter the ah. My owner's manual for the charger said that the ah value is on the battery label, but I did not see it. I called the parts store at the Toyota where I bought it, and he did not know what the ah would be.

    I ended up setting the ah to 60. It took over 24 hours to charge my battery, and it wasn't quite done when I took it off the charger.

    No help on the ah, but what charger do you have that asks for that info before charging it?????? Sounds crazy.

    The charger is an Ampeak 2/8/15A smart battery charger. I charged my battery with 8 amps and the Ah set at 65 and it took over 24 hours. I found a little bit of information on Ah, but not much. Next time I will use 100 Ah, as that is what an example I found on the Internet uses with a battery my size. Thanks for the posts.
