Change to AGM battery with Truecharge 2

I have a Xantrex Truecharge 2 TC6012 installed in 2012 Winnebago Sightseer, Ford F53 chassis. One Truecharge charging circuit is connect to my 12V group 24 flooded battery and a second circuit is connected to my two 12V group 27 flooded batteries. Can I program the TC6012 to charge different types of batteries on each circuit (AGM for coach and flooded for chassis)? As a follow up question, since the chassis alternator charges the chassis battery first, then the coach batteries, is there any issue with the chassis alternator charging the AGM batteries at too high a voltage?
  • Can't answer your question about the Xantrex but I have AGM batteries in my coach for 6 years now and lead acid for the chassis battery and have had no problems with the 160 amp engine alternator damaging the batteries.
  • Yes, you can do what you want. That is the main feature of the TrueCharge system. Doug
  • No the chassis alternator should be regulated and won't spike up the AGM's with too much voltage.
