Go with a 60 or 45 amp.... I will give you the talking points you decide.
Question: How much battery do you have?
Group 24, about 75 amp hours, 27 and 27 just below and over 100 respectively, Group 31 around 130, Pair of GC-2, Golf Car six volt, 230.
NOTE: as written these are all 12 volt batteries, "Pair of GC-2 (Six volt) = Big 12 volt)
If you have more than one 12 volt add 'em up. (IE two 24's 25+25=150)
Mutliply by 0.30 (30%)
(150*0.3=45)
And that is the size you want.
Now: From the battery's point of view, Smaller is better, that is charging at a max rate of 30% capacity is what Xantrex recommends, key word MAX (See lifeline note below) But charging at 10 percent is even better for battery life.
Of course that takes longer. (It is also what Trojan recommends).
Lifeline Note; Lifeline recommends 30 percent as the MINIMUM initial charge for their AGM batteries. Only company I have found to recommend a fast charge.
