Hi, everyone :).
The battery has no brand name on it that I can find, It's not telecom, AFAIK. I bought it used, years ago. Its previous life was in a forklift.
I have not done a conditioning cycle, by ordinary terminology. The battery minder calls its pulse/float thing 'conditioning', which I agree is confusing. I think that's 13.4 volts.
The minder model I have, 12117, was marketed by Northern Tool as good for wet and AGM batteries. It's not the AGM-specific model, but has similar (not identical, off by 0.1-2v IIRC) voltages.
My usual (Noco) charger puts out 14.4v, floats at 13.5.
I think that answers all the questions, express or implied :).
As for my OP, it seems clear that the minder does not distinguish between floating and 'conditioning', and I was wrong to think it did. They are the same thing, as far as it is concerned.
But I am interested in this discussion of whether the minder is actually useful at all, compared to other float devices such as my ordinary charger!
