You are correct when you are wiring in parallel and basically making your battery capacity twice as large - it will handle twice the rated charge current of a single one. The amount of current you can supply in the bulk stage is usually dictated by just how large of a charger you can purchase.
Renogy recommends a maximum of charge and discharge current for a single parallel battery at 50A and 100A respectively. As you add more batteries, increase the current values in accordance with the specifications listed in the table.
For a single parallel battery, maintain a charge and discharge current of 25A each. As you add more batteries, increase the current values in increments of 25A. Deviating from these specified current values, whether exceeding or falling below them, can accelerate wear and compromise the overall lifespan of your battery setup.
Consider the example of two batteries connected in parallel: Battery A has a voltage of 6 volts and a current of 2 amps, while Battery B has a voltage of 6 volts and a current of 3 amps. When connected in parallel, the total voltage remains at 6 volts, but the total current increases to 5 amps. Advantages and Disadvantages of Parallel Connections
Definition and Explanation of Parallel Connections In a parallel connection, batteries are connected side by side, with their positive terminals connected together and their negative terminals connected together. This results in an increase in the total current, while the voltage across the batteries remains the same.
Each of these battery contains a BMS that the manufacturer supports a recommended max charge current of 50Ah. Current is measured in Amps. Ah is Amps x Time. So lets use the proper terminology.
