Various AGM battery mfg's have different spec's for charging...
I searched hard to see if I could find the charge spec's for the Intimidator/Deca AGM's and could not find it....
Example of the Universal Power Group battery... They say max current for a group 27 is .3C
or <>30 amps max... 14.4 vdc.

Lifeline is totally different, you can check it out if you are thinking about Lifelines. They are more expensive.
I have had lifeline for 5+ years. Still has factory spec capacity, which I watch almost every camper trip.... Per my Trimetric I have a total AH on them of 4500+.
How I check it is each morning I see what the AH tot al for the evening or days and compare with the resting voltage of the battery.
Just wanted you to be aware.
