Some great info here thanks everyone.
I just talked to Batteryminder and asked why odyssey doesn't recommend batteryminder chargers for anything other than odyssey's two smallest batteries.. He really couldn't explain why.. But agreed, odyssey recommends huge amp numbers for the larger odyssey batteries..
I need high amp numbers if I deep cycle a odyssey on my TT and doubt my batteryminders 8 amp setting could fully charge a large diehard platinum (odyssey) within the few hours I run my generator every morning. If I buy the diehard AGM.. I will break down and buy a odyssey charger.

Depending upon your dollar budget and how you intend to use your TT, there are other batteries that may be a better choice than those AGM's.
Have you done a power budget yet? What loads are you operating and for how long? Do you have any other charge sources available (e.g. solar)? What voltage is your alternator regulated to and what is its current rating ??
Cheers

No I haven't done a power budget, and unsure how, and I'm not sure on my alternator. Last time I went camping, the only thing I powered was my fridge and my junk battery needed charged daily to run it. I would be happy if my new battery could run the fridge (propane) and maybe the water pump for 15 minutes a day..
post 209 is interesting.
