In addition to the questions above, the charging current depends on your battery bank. Batteries will only accept so much current depending on the size of the battery bank and the state of charge.
AND the voltage which the charging source is seeking.
It might take only 15 amps to be held at 13.6v but might require 45 amps to be brought upto at 14.4v, and perhaps 54 amps to be brought upto 14.8v.
I sometimes parallel my 25 amp schumacher sc2500a with my 40 amp meanwell rsp-500-15 adjustable voltage power supply, but to get both to maximum output when battery is 50%, I have to crank Meanwell to 15.3v or higher. When 14.8v is reached at battery terminals, usually the Meanwell can take over by itself@ 40 amps, and I can remove the Schumacher, as the schumacher done be Loco, and might seek 16.4v at 25 amps output.
