IOTA DLS-30 Converter with 2 6V GC2 Batteries
Hi, I currently have a IOTA DLS-30 converter and plan to upgrade my single group 24 battery to “2” GC2 Batteries 6V wired in Series. I believe based on my research that my DLS-30 should work just fine...

No problem at all with that plan Proided the GC-2's are not Lifeline AGMs
For most batteries (Lifline AGM's are the exception. along with the very rare genuine gel cell) the recommended MAXIMUM recharge rate is 30% of the C/20 Amp hour rate. for the GC2s that's about 66 amps
(For lifeline AGM's though they have changed it that used to be the MINIMUM recommended recharge rate)
Your 30 amp charger will do nicely. the only thing is if the batteries are low it will take a bit longer than say a 60 amp to recharge (About 2 hours more) But this is a good thing as most Lead Acid batteries will show longer overall life (Years) with the slower charge rate.
So enjoy
