The actual charge rate for the GF batteries is best determined by temperature. Most 6 volt GC batteries are rated around 150 amp hours. This remains the rating for series batteries but adds for parallel. A pair of series GC batteries caps at a charge rate of about 30 amps unless you want to fast charge or boost charge. If that is the case then monitor the battery case temperature and keep it under 135 degrees F. Be sure to frequently check the electrolyte level as they will loose water rapidly at high charge rates.
BTW, my GC uses six 8 volt batteries. The charger limits current to 15 amps max.
I agree with the other comments and advice.
