It is important the dump load amps are somewhat greater than the charging amps.
The battery size is not important, past being somewhat suited to the rest of the system.
It is being used on everything from rechargable AAs to about 1,000AH.
Big systems really should consider something fancier. 100AH is still fairly small.
After reading the abuse you guys put them through, I'm glad I spent a lot of time making them rugged!
