Odyssey does NOT say to limit charging amps to 10 amps
They specifically say that their batteries require a 40% charge rate when deeply cycled.

40 amps applied for a single 100AH battery until 14.7v at 77f is reached and then hold 14.7v for 4 hours while amps taper to the sub 1 amp range.
10 amps. Phooey.
Lifeline recommends 20 amps minimum for a 100AH battery when deeply cycled, and thei rupper limit on amperage is something ridiculous like 350 or 500 amps
I wish this trickle charge mentality would climb back in the insane asylum with the old wives and their crazy tales.
