The maximum amount of charging current that a type of battery can handle varies based upon its size, type and manufacturer. Specifications for the maximum charge rate can be found in the manual for the battery and will typically be given as a percentage of the C-rate. Flooded lead acid (FLA) batteries and Gel batteries generally have a maximum charge rate between 10%-20% of the C/20 rate.[1]. Absorption glass mat (AGM) batteries are often able to accept higher charge currents, sometimes as high as 35% of their C/20 rate.[1].
It is important that the maximum charge rate is set taking into account all parallel strings in the battery bank.
