40 amperes per 100-amp hours is a lot.
Spot on.
The 135AH Powerwares have a spec of 50A max. 50/135 is 37% per battery. I have two batteries for 270AH and a 50A temp-comp charger which is 18%.
These are replacing a Johnson Controls 31C 100AH which is slightly swollen on both ends. I really hammered it over a year and a half both using and charging it with 50A, or 50%.
