With this one I've now seen 4 documents from Deka with 4 sets of AGM charging voltages. For instance, the document in the quote above says 13.8 to 14.6 absorb and 13.5 for float (at 77 deg F). This document http://www.dekabatteries.com/assets/base/0139.pdf says 14.3 to 14.6 for absorb and 13.4 for float. The temperature compensation values for AGMs are different in different Deka AGM documents. Another Deka document I have says 14.1 to 14.4 for absorb and 14.4 to 14.58 for equalize, while Trojan sternly warns to NEVER equalize an AGM battery. Could some of the dis-information be coming directly from manufacturer's literature?
However, there is a distinction between AGMers mis/dis-information about AGMs and NON-AGMers crossing over to make provocative statements re AGMs.
......
If you don't have any instructions, you would do well to read Deka's.
And AGMs really stink for number of discharge cycles. Deka says 370 cycles to 50% DOD, Trojan claims 1200 cycles for the T105.
