Did I miss some manufacturer specs?
Is there Fiamm documentation saying to limit current to 27 amps per 132Ah battery.
Mex has scoffed at the upper amperage limits on some of the more budget friendly AGMS in previous threads.
Not having experience with them well, perhaps we can get an refresher course on why limiting initial amperage to thirsty more budget friendly AGMS is to be adhered to strictly, or scoffed at as a warrarnty protection/ maximum profit recommendation.
My opinion, is if they do not heat too excessively, get em to near the proper temperature compensated Absorption voltage Quickly at high amperage, and keep them there until amps taper to 0.5% of capacity or if the rate of battery temperature increase says this is not wise.
The capable tool to achive this threshold, well, I got strong opinions in that area I do not need to reiterate.
But when the Automatic charging source calls good enough, prematurely, well, that is a crime but there is no shortage of apologists for good enough or worse, 'just fine'.
