I'm still looking around. I've noticed none of the sellers have any information about charging rates.
I've looked on some of the manufacture's sites but they too seem to be keeping charging rates and other details a secret.
EDIT--chargers do get warm and need lots of cooling air. Watch out for a loose connection to the battery post, which will get hot if loose. Put both Truecharges on the job and they will each do half the work.

The battery makers do give charging specifications for voltages. Eg Trojan wants 14.8v for charging and 13.5 for Float (which is like sitting on shore power) some want 14.4 for charging, it varies.
The amps going in only matter for the time you have. Except you can use too high an amps for the size of the battery. Usual idea is 25 % charging rate, so use 25 amps on a 100AH and so in as a rough guide.
But you can use fewer amps with the proper voltage. It just takes longer -more hours (Amp- Hours)
