I believe I read somewhere that amps charge batteries and maximize amps, not volts. The out volts have to be compatible with the battery but volts are generally static, sufficient amps charge batteries. Still doing homework. Reading this:

"Because a battery is not totally efficient at converting electrical energy into chemical energy and vice-versa, re-charging a 100Ah battery requires about 120Ah to be put back into it, and this can be achieved by either
120 Amp-hours / 10 hours = 12 Amps for 10 hours
120 Amp-hours / 15 hours = 8 Amps for 15 hours
120 Amp-hours / 24 hours = 5 Amps for 24 hours etc."
