Like a capacitor, it would probably take an infinite time to charge the battery to 100%.

The reason that peaks occur whilst not charging is probably due to a fluctuating load causing a change in current drain, therefore causing a change in voltage drop across the internal resistance of the battery.

I hope this helps
