Redarc DC-DC Battery Charger
I’m in the process of installing a Redarc BCDC1225D battery charger in my truck camper. I got it installed enough yesterday to give it an initial test, and was pleased to see that with the truck idlin...

Good to hear it is working well.
Higher DC voltages reaching a DC heating element will work much much better, as you have found out.
In general Higher DC voltages make everything DC work better.
And While batteries are rated in Amp hours, and AGM bateries of the same size of their flooded brethern have lesser Ah ratings, tghey hold higher voltages during that depletion.
I suspect if Watt hour ratings were listed for capacity instead of AH, then AGMs would achieve the higher number.
The lower my battery voltage, the hotter my DC to DC laptop converter runs, and my AGm is almost always 0.2 to .3v higher for the same Ah removed, compared to my previous flooded.
