Charging deep cycle batteries
I have a couple different brands of batteries...Everstart Marine&RV and Interstate Marine/RV. Most chargers on the market allow you to select "standard, agm, or gel". Which setting is recommended?

They are flooded jars. Use the standard setting--but do track the voltage. It needs to get to 14.8 if the charger can do so.
I managed to get 9 years out of a set of "marine" jars. They are not a true deep cycle format, so try not to discharge them more than about 20%.
The ideal charger would keep the batteries just below the gassing voltage, and then at about 95% state of charge move up to one bubble per second.
