Eric,
30% of C is high for all flooded batteries I know of. I'd worry about the high temperatures and grid warping. Some AGM's can handle 5C charge without harm.

Hi Guys,
Calling for 30% C for max charge current on flooded batt. Pretty aggressive don't you think?
Even more strange is the spec for 2V cells. They call for 20% for flooded but only 15% for gel/AGM? usually gel/agms take HIGHER max charge rate than flooded don't they?
Thanks,
Eric
