Max Charging Current of typical GC2 battery
Say the GC2 battery bank has been drawn down to 25-50%, what will be the max current they will initially accept? For sure it's greater than the ~24A max my solar charger has reported as that was l...

i posted this last night in my AGM battery thread
take note these are Surplus server batteries removed from routine service
they are going on month 14 of daily use & recharge, they are at 400+ cycles
now at 4:45 am this morning (restless night)
4 amp load
91.0% SOC
12.87v
i routinely see over C 10% charge starting and see 1/2% when done charging
yes i'm using more gas than i used too, i need the genny for A/C anyways
winter time will see some reduction in generator hours
this set of batteries has never seen 50% SOC from my use
it does see full recharge almost every single day
i'm not a weekend camper, we are full time
many of you will never see 400 cycles on your batteries, before you replace them or the RV
getting 5years by going weekend camping twice a month is ONLY 120 cycles
that should be an easy life for ANY battery, but many die with only 2yrs of use

just a quick note
70 minutes after stopping all charging
down 15 ampHr aka 3AH per battery
load 10amps , 2amp per battery
battery SOC 97.7%
battery voltage 13.00v
fully charging batteries everyday of use, makes a significant difference
in batteries maintaining voltage
