Simultaneously Draining/Charging AGMs?
I have a small bank of 3 or so 35ah AGM batts, the UPG Chinee Goodees. I have two chargers for them: a Meanwell SP-200-15 (13.4A) fo bulk charging, and a two-stage 4.5 amp charger which boosts at 13....

my experienced ? guess would be anywhere between 13.8 and 14.1
this is float range and can be held indefinitely
i have my Solar cranked up to put 14.1 at the batteries
and when i do my once a week BD vector top off i try to go to 14.8
i (4) 60ampHr agms and (4) 139ampHr agms
you are charging Unless you exceed the output of the chargers
at that point you are discharging, just doing it at a slower rate than if the chargers were not on, this will cycle.. charge - discharge as the loads change, but it is ONE or the Other
not both at the same time.. but we know what you mean
if shore power is available for days at a time, i suggest high end of float voltage
you can go higher if it is only for a few hours
