AGM batteries, overcharging on long drives
I am new to AGM batteries and have done a lot of study prior to purchasing them as a replacement for my coach batteries. My charger has a specific algorithm for charging them when plugged into shore power so I have no concerns here. What has been nagging me is what happens when I take off on a long (several 100 miles) drive starting out with fully charged batteries. During this drive the battery separator will deliver alternator power to the batteries for the whole drive. Should I be concerned? Should I add a switch to disable the battery separator under these conditions? I would appreciate any thoughts or ideas.5.1KViews0likes13Comments
