The page on lead battery charging says " Lead acid is sluggish and cannot 
be 
charged as quickly as other battery systems."  I'm not an electrochemist, 
but I don't see how they can say that.  As long as you monitor its 
temperature, an AGM lead battery can be charged about as fast as it can be 
discharged, as long as you're below 80% SOC.  We're talking thousands of 
amps.  I certainly wouldn't call that "sluggish."
