Inverter AGM questions
I have been thinking about installing a inverter in my truck, either a 2000-3000 watt. I would use it to run small power tools, air compressor, an electric blanket when on the ferry system as you can'...

Indeed, part of the advantage of the Lifeline is it's ability to take a whopping amount of charge amperage when it first starts off. And a 50% increase is not insignificant.
David .... I don't think that's an advantage of only Lifeline AGM batteries.
The technical literature of other AGM battery manufacturers state that they can absorb large recharging currents if the recharging starts from low enough of a battery discharged state and if the charging device can reach high enough voltage at those large recharging currents that can be absorbed.
The danger is .... AGM thermal runaway can happen if the charging device is too robust and if the deice does not get shutdown automatically from heat sensors attached to the case of the battery.
