55A rating does NOT mean charger section will push 55A to batteries.
55A rating is the Converter Load capability rating......charging section AND DC Supply for dist panel
What I know is you can get full rated amps to batts. As my amp meter shows me pushing 60 amps through. That was with small load on inverter as I stated. I did that to test the new inline 40 amp breaker I replaced . ( it was 30 amp previous and would trip out at 40 amps or so during my tests)
During the tests I ran 120 volts loads such as a/c and refeer with no amp drop.
I believe if I ran DC loads, the heat blower and water pump the amps would go down from whats going in the batts.. I may try that tomorrow while I have the amp meter.
But what major DC loads are really in the camper? 7 amps on heater, and maybe 4 - 5 on water pump? So its irrelevant IMO if you can still get 30 amps.
c/20 charge rate per dekka..
220 ... 20% = 44 amps
Or just my two batts 150 ah + 20 % = 30 amps..
