Will this charge an AGM battery?

You can leave the converter in place but use the PowerMax as a portable and keep it for the next rig too. Just add a set of clamp wires to the output terminals. ( a set of cut off jumper cables works)

Something like this, where the charger is plugged into the gen in the truck bed

This is an interesting idea. We currently don't have a generator, it's further down the purchase list. I assume that this type of setup would work on sites with shore power in place of the generator?

Again, thanks for the info.

Yes it just needs 120v input. If using a gen you need a big enough gen to run the chosen amps size of the charger. The 60 amper needs a 2000w gen, not a 1000, eg. The 75 amper needs a 2200 and the 100 amper needs a 3000w gen.

I disagree with time2roll that the PD would be good with the AGM, because it does not have adjustable voltage so you can do temperature adjustments for the charging voltage (unless you are always at 77F). The guides to AGM charging stress the importance of temp adjust for their spec voltages.

While the PD would be "close enough" not to kill the AGM it will not be as good in the long haul as using the proper voltages. "It depends" how much diff that would make in your case.

time2roll is known to prefer as little fussing with batteries as possible. The adjustable one is not automatic for adjustments, so it takes more time and effort to use. I don't mind that. Your own "style" would be what counts for that. No free lunch, as usual.
