I'm having trouble finding an answer to this question.
Even on the same thread of 'https://electronics.stackexchange.com' (below) they disagree & in the video section, 1 guy says as long as the voltage is correct you can use 100A to charge an ipad that only needs 1.5A for li, while a vid next to it for sealed lead/a says no - excess amps will destroy/cook the batt.
If my array of SCC's put out collectively 100A, 48v batt, then I assumed I'd have to match that to an applicably large batt bank, eg I can't put a 48v 6 amp hour batt on the end of it, or an array of super capacitors that the spec's say have a maximum input of 3 Amps.
Some say use this V = I x R
Others say No use this W = I x V (incidentally I assume that's correct for the super caps, but then if the super caps are connected to a batt - then the inrush current drawn will only cause approx 1 volt between the caps & batt, so Amps drawn from batt will be limited).
Misc. Looks like my 48v system will be lead acid, li at this time is too pricey for me. So now I'm thinking in order to keep my 12v led light system in the house I'll use 4 x 6 Ahr li batt in parallel (spec's max 3 A per batt input, so 3x4 =12A. So a li batt charger connected to the 48v input inverter. The charger probably Hiyiton 12V 10A, or less amps, I have read that less amps is bad for the batt??? but I don't understand why that would be. There seems also to be disagreement if such a charger will give only the amps the batt needs (draws). In other words the batt will only draw the amps it needs even if the charger has infinite amps available, Same ? as above I guess.

Can I use a charger with more output amperage than the device needs?
I've just bought a portable battery, but the portable battery don't comes with an adapter for the house current; it only comes with a USB cable so I can charge it with my laptop. My mobile phone came
