I've read about solar charging systems, and am impressed when the owner boasts of the current generated. What I don't understand is how a system that generates 20-50+ amps doesn't fry the batteries. In these high current systems, is the charge being passed through a bank of batteries in parallel so each battery sees reasonable current?
Same way your 55 amp converter does not damage the battery or your 130 amp alternator does not burn out your vehicle battery.
Just like any charger... the voltage is controlled and as the battery comes up to the same voltage the amps taper off to zero at full.
