AGM battery question for the experts.
I will readily admit, I’m not a battery expert, let alone AGM batteries. I have a (to me) real puzzler, maybe it’s just chemistry I don’t understand. I have a ‘powersports’ battery, an ETX20L if i...

The only reason I mentioned that "fix" in your particular specific diagnostic was to show a get-out-of-a-bind band-aid until a more suitable course can be arranged.
Mysterious breaks deep within a battery are doomed.
A high voltage screamer would help prevent high-potential disasters when aboard.
And an intrinsically limited charge maintainer self protects against runaway when a rig is unattended.
As far as connectors are concerned, the Concord Lifeline uses a Beryllium Copper post, which is much tougher than lead. I have no idea if other manufacturers offer the same level of protection. An L-Pad connector relies on a nut and bolt to clamp and if 316 stainless nuts and bolts are used corrosion becomes a non issue. Unnecessary post torque flex is avoided.
I believe Gdetrailer is referring to a charging device with power-supply quality output. Where disconnected, the device would limit noise *ripple* to say 20 millivolts maximum. Lifeline, demands this quality level of charger device right in their specifications.
