". It is more important to maintain a bulk charge level above 20% amp hour capacity."
Mex, does this apply to all deep cycle AGMs or just to Lifelines and perhaps others who call for that in their spec sheets?
My AGMs say nothing about a minimum amps recharge. They do give a max amps of "about 27a per 100AH" and a charging voltage (14.5-14.9), but no minimum amps.
It means a lot to me, because I do the recharge- to- full of my 450AH of AGMs at home, where anything more than my 55 amp charger in the RV pops a breaker in the house the way I have things. It just takes longer to get them full at 55 amps, but at home who cares about the time it takes?
However, if the 20% minimum does apply to all AGMs, then I have to change my routine.
