Before buying he AGM batteries, make sure your charger is designed for them. A wet cell charger will not put on a full charge.
Hmm -- good point. The solar controller is a factory installed option and does have a switch to set it for AGM batteries at a higher voltage, but I don't know about the converter. In fact I've never seen it charge at higher than 14.0V using the generator.
I have absolutely ignored the "special" charging requirements for AGMs. My solar (55 amp Iota) and solar (Blue Sky controller) played well with my Lifeline and Universal AGMs. Simply plug and play. I should note, gel cell batteries do have different charge requirements, as I understand.
