Absolute Maximum 

Charge Rate

120A per HAB™ in Parallel (Solar Charge Controller Amps + 

Percentage of Inverter/Charger Max DC Output.

Example: For a single HAB™ system with an inverter/charger 

maximum DC output of 100 A and a solar charge controller 

capable of 80 A, you would limit the inverter/charger output to 40 

A (so the total is 120 A).
