The quick answer is for the Surrette 12 volt AGM, 14.7 volts charge and 13.65 volts float at 77 deg F
The long answer is a chart of current and voltage over time.
A really lot of good information there but WAY more than the average battery user really needs to know.
If you can't quite attain the "bulk" charging voltage, that is NOT a problem; it just takes longer to charge. Assuming that you apply the lower voltage long enough, you end up in the same place.
I am a BIG fan of AGM batteries in vehicle use: cars, motorcycles, tractors and lawn mowers even. But I'm not quite convinced that they are really worth the extra price in a heavy duty, deep cycle application, versus good quality deep cycle wet batteries that is.
