Depends on who you ask. Some folk who have boiled a battery over or boiled a battery dry will shy away from rapid charging. Anybody ever care to guess just how many amps the 160 amp charging system on your vehicle rams into the starting battery on your vehicle. For the first 5-15 minutes after starting? Certainly not as much now with fuel injected vehicles as the bad old days with carbs but......... A 50amp bulk charge is not uncommon. As for backup batteries in a nuclear plant. If caught trickle charging them after a deep discharge test. You will screamed at by the supervisor and a few engineers for sulphating the plates. A heavy fast high current bulk charge at 5-10% of the battery current capacity is used. 1000amp battery is charged at 50 to 100amps. As long as the battery isn't over filled , it doesn't boil. Actual temperature is more of a concern. Above 77F a lead acid battery's life is shortened at an exponential rate. At approx 80% charge the rate is backed off to a trickle to 100%.
