Years ago , I replaced my PIK 20E SLA starter bat with an 8AH

Thanks to our EAA president, it appears that Odyssey bats should be charged
at a much high rate than SLA. 40% of the AH capacity, in amps
3 A for mine.

"Should" be charged at that rate, or "may" be? I'd say the slower the better, or at least not worse, as long as you have the time available.
