This setting is adjustable from 5-80 amps.
IMPORTANT:
 Check the battery manufacturer’s recommendations for the optimal charging
settings for the type of batteries being used.
 An appropriate circuit breaker, or overcurrent device, must be used between the
battery and the FLEXmax.
 If a battery remote temperature sensor (RTS) is used, set the Absorbing and Float
setting voltage based on a 25°C/77°F setting. RTS compensated voltage values can
be viewed in the Advanced menu screen under the RTS Compensation heading.
