"I've also set my charge rate to 50%. It used to be 10%. In what I've read, for 6v batteries, it should be about 10% of the amp hour capacity. My capacity's 460 amp hours (230AH each battery, 2 series strings in parallel, total 460, unless I'm mistaken). My Magnum MS2000 max charging rate capacity is 100A. So setting it to 50% gets me 50amp, which is close to the 10%. I think that's right, at least."
Which is it? 10% of 460AH before or 50% of 100A now? The above is confused.
EDIT--so before at 10% that was of 100A so your charging amps was set at 10 amps? That is with any loads coming first and the batteries second, so how much was going to the batteries ever?
Your 6s can take 33% of 460AH ( 152A) easily for the constant amps Bulk stage. Of course you need a gen that can run that much of a charger--such as a PF corrected inverter/charger with a 150A charger to it with a 3000w inverter-gen.
