My battery is 50P4S assembled of 2ah 18650 cells. 80A is 0.8C for this battery, which is the manufacturer-recommended safe charging current. If cells are balanced and not defective, they stay cool at 1 - 1.5C. 80A charger is a modified SMPS computer server power supply. It weighs about 4 pounds and can be carried in a trunk for quick recharging on the road. A 10A charger in the garage is for overnight no-rush charging.
