What do the battery specs say they should be charged at? The 7345 is a singles stage 13.8v charger. One member here swears by his for his AGMs as that is their spec voltage. But AGMs vary.
the stock 7345 converter/chargeris woefully inadequate for any kind of battery long term, let alone for something of the caliber of an Odyssey/AGM battery. They will cook a flooded battery and undercharge an AGM. These converters are still used today because they are cheap, not because they are good for your battery
http://www.bestconverter.com/4600-series-Upgrade-Kits_c_133.htmlThat Charge Wizard technology looks nice. But I don't see the Charge Wizard on
ODYSSEY Approved 12V Charger ListingNor does the charge wizard mention AGM batteries
Now looking, my batteryminder is only barely approved for my smaller motorcycle batteries and I would need a bigger charger to maintain the larger Die Hard Platinum. Which I'm sure likes the same charge characteristics as the odyssey's
link And looking closer.. No chargers other than the odyssey chargers actually gives the needed amperage. 40-50 amps for the larger odyssey!
Turns out using your tow vehicle battery for anything other starting is a bad idea. I'm looking at
Hellroaring BIC-75150A and BIC-75300A Battery Isolator/Combiners but wondering if its worth tying the 12v TT to the TV battery. I thought it would be nice to have the same batteries in both the TT and TV and be able to charge both and use both easily, but maybe I should consider a different battery(s) for the TT. and continue my ritual running around every morning tangled in charger cords when I run the generator.
