Updated 26 April ---------- Thinking of getting one of these to replace an old pair of wet 6s, where the price here is similar to new 6s. Not sure if it is suitable for RV use doing 50-90s some...

Whqt does 0.3CA mean.. The standard we use to rate batteries is called C/20 that means the battery's capacity (in amp hours) if discharged over a 20 hour period.
NOTE that some companies use different standards so as to get a bigger rating Example Wal*mart uses the "At one amp discharge rate" method. So a 73 AH battery has over 100 amp hours at that speed.. The faster you discharge, teh faster STILL the battery runs down.
0.3C means 30% of the C/20 rate
So if you have a battery rated at 100 Amp Hours (both G-27 and G-29 are in that range) your max charge rate is 30 amps or 0.3 times 100.
