Question For AGM Battery Owners...
Are there folks out there who have decided they do not like AGM batteries and believe their AGM battery purchase was a mistake, and should have purchased standard flooded lead acid batteries instead? ...

ARRRRGGGHHHH!
Yet another bunch of "Fal-de -rah" to de-bunk...
TWENTY charging amps per one hundred amp hours of AGM battery is PLENTY. A 55-amp Whiffco with a 36-amp Megawatt is Plenty! This allows a high enough recharge rate to return 100% state of charge within your lifetime. Set the Mega for 14, 4 volts .on a 4- hour timer for 400 A/H worth of AGM. 2-hours for 200 A/H. You can charge an AGM 600 2-hour stints even rhough it doesn't need it AND IT WILL NOT HURT A DARNED THING. Six hundred false 14.4 volt 2-hour recharges. A Megawatt and a timer. Now how hard can that be?
Some of you are needlessly trying to micromanage AGM charging.
There are TENS OF THOUSANDS of AGM batteries out there operating at 14.0+ volts and many of them do it when they are 140 degrees underhood. No, it isn't the best for the battery. But some of you are quibbling over a few tenths of a volt. A Megawatt and a timer will work fine.
When charging via gasoline or diesel gen run time is important THEN pile on the charging amps.
