Battery float current

[Andreas T]

There is so many threads on batteries but I didn't find this one: I wonder what a typical float current for a bank of house batteries should be ? I have 3x115 Ah flooded batteries, a Xantrex 3-stage charger, a Link 10 battery monitor and read app. 13.4 V in float mode and 2 A current. Sounds okay ?

2A is reasonable and about .6% acceptance. Be sure you have no DC loads turned on when measuring that. If they were chuck full I would expect a little less than 2A but they may be slightly sulfated...
