ip22 - 30 vs 20 for 2 100 Ah batteries (individual and parallel)

Hi

I have 2 SOK LFP 100 Ah batteries. I have a small 10 amp charger for other smaller LFP batteries but want to step up up to a Victron solution for these larger batteries. I charge them separately for now but possibly will setup in parallel.

If I go to a 24 volt setup (series) at some point, I can either disconnect to charge or buy a 24 volt charger in the future.

Other than cost/output amperage.. what is the better solution, the ip22 in 20 or 30 amp config?

Charging time is faster and at 50%, the 30 amp is still at least at 15 amp.

thanks

Check the battery maker's charge current ratings. We can't do more than advise that you charge at that rate or lower.

50 amp is max charge rate. Question was, knowing it is 50 amp do I get a 30/15 or 20/10 setup. Of course the 30 will charge it faster.


Is that the main solution, to get the charger with the fastest, safest charge rate?
