Combining Dissimilar Battery ah?
I know there are a few people here with real-world experience with this, so I hope they chime in! QUESTION: With a small 12v AGM battery (33ah), I have the choice of paralleling a slightly larger ...

Again, good facts get diluted and become useless...
It is common, for batteries NOT CONNECTED ALL THE TIME TO A MAINTENANCE CHARGER to bubble freely when being recharged at a RATIONALLY FAST generator powered recharge or fast charge.
VOLTAGE! VOLTAGE! VOLTAGE!
Charge batteries at a constant 14.8 volts at 20C until they BEGIN to bubble freely then reduce charge level to 14.0
They will gradually stop bubbling the longer they are maintained at 14.0 volts.
When specific gravity tops out at 14.0 volts, reduce to appropriate float voltage.
Shore power versus generator
Like comparing Maxim's of Paris to Hospital Food
If you confuse either of the two, god help you.
