Set Battery Current Limit
Consult battery manufacturer's data for maximum battery recharge current settings.
The Battery Current Limit is set as a percentage of the 10-hour rate entered above.
It is recommended this value is set at the highest rate allowable to ensure the battery is
recharged as fast as possible.
In some systems, especially larger systems, this may require limiting further because of
the number of rectifiers available, rather than the maximum setting.

For telecom settings, this limit is often set to 10% (or 0.1C10, i.e., a 10A current limit for a
100Ahr battery). This is more typical of a design parameter than the need for the setting to be
at this level but a setting higher than this level should be considered to enable the fastest
recharge possible without exceeding the battery manufacturer's maximum value.
Ensure sufficient rectifier capacity is available to cover battery recharge and load requirements.
