I bought this particular battery because Fullriver recommends 13.6v for maintenance, which matches my crappy converter.
You're doing it the way I did it ... which is "out of sequence" from the way most all others do it.
I kept the 13.6V converter in our RV and searched for an AGM battery with a recommended float voltage of 13.6 volts. As it turns out, my AGM batteries are now in their 8th year and due to their characteristics (low internal resistance), they not only float safely on the converter's voltage but they also charge fast enough on the converter's voltage so as to match our camping style.
I wanted AGM batteries anyway for other reasons ... so I thought why throw away/replace a perfectly good $170-$190 converter? Instead I kept the converter and put the money saved into the cost of AGM batteries that played nicely with the converter.
