so what is the max allowable current for charging? I can measure the current with a clamp ammeter.

No but I can easily install 1

The power supply is current limited but I'm worried abt whether the 32A will cause damage to the battery(if fully drained)?

What is the max current for a rapid sealed lead acid battery charger? Most recommend 0.1C up to 1C where C = Ah rating. I have a max 30-32A regulated 13.8VDC power supply and the battery is 12V, 170Ah. Would charging the battery at the max 32A damage the battery?

I'm using the multicomp dual SEC 12V, 2.3VA. I tried to measure directly from the transformer, its about 17+VAC. Its 15+VAC when measured from the AC pins and 15+VDC from the DC pins of the rectifier. However, when the 16V 1000uF capacitor is connected across the DC pins. The voltage...

Hi, I have a 230V to 2x12V (2.3VA) transformer. There are 4 pins in the secondary coil 0(a)-12(a)-0(b)-12(b). When I measure the voltage across 0(a) and 12(a), I get about 23+VAC. I shorted 12(a) to 0(b) and measured 14VAC across 0(a) and 12(b). I connected a W05 bridge rectifier and...
