2000/15% = 13,333 AH of battery bank is required for a 2,000 amp
charging rate.

Normal charging voltage is anywhere from 13.2VDC-13.8VDC.


Lew, I respectully disagree with both of those statements.

A recharge rate of 25% is normally acceptable for the bulk charging
phase, up to 70 or 80% of full charge.

13.2 to 13.8 is usually considered the "float" range where the battery
is being maintained at full charge.
