Car is almost ready to run.

Battery is on trickle charge for it's first ever charge, but how long should I leave it to charge for?

It is an Ansmann 7.2V 1500mha battery and the charger is an Ansmann AC30.

It says 30mins fast charge but nothing about trickle charge.

Thanks :)

Does it have any information on the charger itself with regard to what the charge rates are etc?
