P.S.:
My coach's AGM deep cycle batteries rest - when fully charged - at 12.7-12.8 volts, which is right in the range where the engine starting battery terminal voltage rests when it's fully charged.
However, I selected my coach AGM batteries very carefully to make sure that I chose ones that would be compatible with a liquid acid starting battery and compatible with my RV's single stage converter for both their charging and floating.
Ideally, the ultimate is to use deep cycle AGM batteries in the coach and AGM starting batteries under the hood ... again assuming that both AGM battery types are specified to have close to the same at-rest fully charged terminal voltages.
