Eric, 30% of C is high for all flooded batteries I know of. I'd worry about the high temperatures and grid warping. Some AGM's can handle 5C charge without harm.

Even more strange is the spec for 2V cells. They call for 20% for flooded but only 15% for gel/AGM? usually gel/agms take HIGHER max charge rate than flooded don't they?
