I wonder what the output voltage is from the Ford V10 alternator. Does anyone know? Maybe it does a good job of charging two 6V in-series AGM batteries.
We are in campsites with electricity maybe 3 of 30 nights so I rarely use the charger/inverter inside the coach for battery maintenance. I primarily charge while driving and also using the method pictured, with the generator running for a quick charge. This orange charger has an AGM setting.

I should also add that when at home, I disconnect the batteries from the coach, then charge to full and leave be. I almost never plug in anywhere, even at home. I'll have to read through my inverter owners manual. Maybe there is something I can set for AGM. I do recall jumpers in there.
