A good battery = 12 - 24 hours minimum time.

A good battery with a low AMP charger = 12 - 24 hours minimum time.
Not good if you are in a hurry.
A marginal/bad battery with a low AMP charger = 24 too infinite hours.
I use this for work = time is money = 100 AMP for half to one hour, and it is charged.

Please consider; there are times when a fast boost/charge is needed.
* Single vehicle = no alternative transport.
* Extreme cold weather starting.
* Marginal/bad starter.
* Prolonged diagnostic work draining battery.
* Just plain nice to have, when you need it.

Low AMP chargers are nice for maintenance charging a good battery.

Edit: thank you P E H
