Over amperage after start up

Twice in a row after the engine starts the battery amps are around 95. How do you lower this? It says in the manual that if it’s over 50 amps you shouldn’t attempt a takeoff but I don’t see where it says how you remedy the issue. Am I doing something wrong in the start up procedure? 
 

TIA.

The main generator limit on the ground is 200 amps. The place in the manual where it references 50 amps also says that battery charge over 50 amps is normal after a battery start. The amperage will decrease over time as the battery is charged and you should be able to takeoff with charge <50 amps. If amperage never decreases below 50 amps, that would indicate an issue.
