I'm really wanting to get a basic serial hybrid working with cheap Lead Acid batteries. If a run of the mill deep cycle golf cart battery is charged at 30-40 amps when it's in the bulk charge phase, is that a problem?

Also, a generator has a fuse on the 120v and 240v outlets just to protect the electric motor from being overloaded, right? Or to prevent the gas engine from stalling due to too much load?
