Hi Guys,</font>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Calling for 30% C for max charge current
on flooded batt. Pretty aggressive don't you think? </font>
<br>
<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">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? </font>
<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Thanks,</font>
