Default Charger - House Bank Sizing

to the house bank size. Maybe 10% that is, 40 Ah charger for a 400

house bank????


A wet cell battery can accept an average of 15% of it's AH capacity as
a recharge rate over the charging cycle.

Thus, a 400AH bank will accept 60A recharge average over the recharge
cycle.
