AGM batteries
Hello, wondering if AGM batteries should be equalized monthly as normal wet cell batteries are. Thinking of changing to AGM. Thanks Socal

The PD does the 15 min equalize routine every 21 hrs at 14.4vdc.... Sufficient????
Equalizing every day would not be just sufficient, and would likely be overkill. But 14.4V barely qualifies as bulk charge (aka Absorb setpoint), not to mention equalizing. Most chargers, including solar, have 14-something bulk setpoint and timer that maintains this 14-something for one hour. This is merely a 2nd stage of a routine 3-stage charging, and is not equalizing.
