I wouldn't mix them but that's based on the little knowledge I picked up when I installed AGM batteries in my previous RV. The inverter/converter in it had different settings for the various types of batteries and I had to change its settings to match the Lifeline AGMs. I also bought an intelligent battery charger at the time and it has different settings for different types of batteries. That might be just marketing hype, but then again ... What little I could find in the manual seemed to indicate the optimal voltage levels used for charging were different for AGMs vs regular batteries.
This is my underlying concern. I have a very large boat with 6 8D batteries. They are all deep cycle AGM. There are three chargers. All three chargers have three settings (Flooded, Gel, and AGM) They are all set to AGM. I was told I could damage the batteries if the chargers are not on the correct setting.
My house charger in the Motorhome does not have any settings that I could find. It is the Intelipower 9200 PD 9200 Series.
Thanks
