Your 45 amper, if doing 40-42 is also over the 35 spec, but that might not be too critical, don't know. (Mex sometimes pooh-poohs those limits)
I think that particular spec has changed since I bought the battery three years ago. I’m almost positive that 40 amps was the max. I have a spec sheet for this battery but unfortunately it’s at home and I’m not.
At any rate, my thought at the time (which may be wrong) was that while I could hurt the battery with over voltage, I don’t think I can make it take more amps than it can handle.
:):)
Have to ask Mex or somebody about that, but AFAIK it is about the sealed AGM getting too hot. Can lead to a "venting" episode, which is not pretty.
Not sure if over amping is the same threat as over voltage for over heating. Over amping might just mean going too fast for the desulphation of recharging. Need some help with that! Anybody?
