A pipe dream of battery chemistry. 375AH requires 5 hours (from 50%
discharge, not zero) at 38A, not 115. Batteries charge at 10% of AH
rating, not 30, if you want to convert the electrolyte, giving it time
for circulation.

Sorry you feel that way. Telling them they can recharge by shoving current
like hell into it in 3 hours is still a pipe dream.

It just isn't fair.
