Overcharging is primarily a function of Volts, not Amps. To illustrate, imagine a cheap plastic RV faucet set fed by 1/2" PEX and 55PSI which is dripping very slowly is your battery. Increase pipe size to 2"(Amps) . Still a slow drip (self discharge) . Up the pressure to 220PSI (Volts) ... Bam ! Electrical devices are similar. Your car for instance will not care if the alternator is putting out 30A or 200A. Excess voltage however, from even the 30A alternator or a little 2A trickle charger, will fry the battery. The 30A alternator would just fry it faster.
Yes, you are correct. The pipe size and wire size is also a good comparison on Amp flow. I try to do a general overview of information without getting into it too much. Thanks again!
