Pd 9145 with charge wizard
So my batteries are charging let’s say at 13.6 volts how many amps am I charging with ? I know most battery charges with 2 , 6 or 10 amps but I don’t understand what my pd is charging at.

You need an ammeter to determine that accurately. It's not a constant number, and could be anywhere from 0 A to a (nominal) maximum of 45 A. It depends on the state of charge of the batteries, the actual applied voltage, the physical characteristics of the battery bank, and various other such things. (It's also not possible to set the charge current and voltage independently of each other; for any given set of battery conditions, the charge voltage will determine the charge current or vice-versa.)
Incidentally, normal battery chargers are not constant current supplies, and their charge current will vary some too. In particular, as the battery gets towards full charge, the current will taper off.
