Lowering amperage a good thing?

Another reason to avoid regular "max amp charging" if possible--even if your install is "to code" and installed by a licensed electrician, problems can still arise. Granted, it's anecdotal and possibly an outlier, but still worthy of review:

That's the #1, 2 and 3 reasons IMHO. Everything can be installed 110% correctly but everytime you charge at 48A the connections get very warm/hot. Metal expands when it heats up. The amount of heat is the charge rate squared. So 24A reduces the heat by 75% vs 48A. Less heat, less thermal cycling, lower probability you have a problem someday. Why charge at 48A when 20A is fast enough?

I have an OG HPWC and dual chargers. I charge at 80A maybe 3 times a year when it's necessary. The rest of the time it's 20A or less. No benefit to 80A, why take the risk even if it's a very very small risk?
