I was looking for info on trying to charge, recharge AGM Batteries. If a convenional automatic charger is set to the deep cycle 2 amp setting, will this over charge the AGM Battery? Constructive comme...

I'm at the point now where I'm just not happy with converters and can't justify inverter/charger units with the programmable time and set points. And I'm tired of waiting a week to charge up my batteries to full (letting the converter float for a week then pump in some volts for finish charge). If I can get all this done during the first day or two after a trip, I'll be happy. Not to mention, I can change the float voltage. That right there is reason enough to get one of these. No more 13.6V float (WAY too high) when it's 110F outside.
Not sure PM is best as I believe it drops to float as soon as the set point is reached. OK maybe you can then adjust the float up to 14.7 for a few hours but that seems like the wrong way to me.
Spend the money on Solar. 210/250w panel, 20a Rogue controller, Done.
Fully automatic recharge at home and some boost while camping. Full temp compensated etc.
Probably work well for the OP also :B
