Jim, 0.25C or 0.33C is pretty typical max charging current for AGM (C is 20 hr capacity here). Shouldn't be a surprise to anybody. Old manual for Deka that I have, suggest no more than 0.3C. For 100 AH battery this would be exactly 30 A.
Lifeline AGM are unique since they allow C4 current, i.e. 400 A for a 100 AH battery. Still, I am not sure that C4 is good for prolonged use, even for Lifeline.
Good!
Raising the awareness for folks is what we want to do.
Many single battery guys out there...So they need to be aware.
