Does this work with AGM batteries

Good day Ronald. It is an excellent product and is working with AGM (sealed) batteries. Mine is currently set up to monitor my sealed batteries as the main pack and the auxillary battery it measures is a normal wet battery.

Yes, I believe so. Battery parameters such as capacity and the Peukert's Constant are settable. I'm very satisfied with my unit.

From what I can tell it will work with any of them. In fact I installed one on our AGM bank this year! I see no reason why it would not. It's merely monitoring the flow of current into and out of the batteries. I know the technical support folks will answer any questions you have. They have always been good to us and we have several X products.

Is this just an expensive charger (snake oil) or will any battery charger charge AGM batteries? I already have 2 chargers, small 10 amp max and a full blown starter/charger.

Yes you can . I use it with a generator to keep the agm battery charged in my race car. Thank you

It can, but over time there will be problems. The AGM battery requires a different charging current and voltage, and temperature sensing. Check out the model, 2012 AGM which is an AGM only or the 12248 which is the Mac daddy and switchable for any type of battery.

I would not recommend extended use on the AGM batteries. It's OK to use on occasion if you need a quick boost. The charging profile on a lead acid battery and an AGM battery are different and over time this charger could shorten the service time/life of an AGM battery.

That should be fine. The charger was 'specificly' designed for AGM batteries. But, it will work on any battery type. google "agm battery" if you're curious

This is not a carbon pile tester. it test electronically so yes it will test AGM's

Don't use a car battery, get an AGM battery. They are more expensive but worth it.

Standard battery tenders are not designed to work with hi-performance AGM-type batteries. The Optima charger allows you to select which type of battery you are charging.

I use a Genius G3500 Charger/Maintainer. It has a special charging mode for AGM batteries. Just make sure to use a charging system that is smart enough to charge and manage AGM batteries. By the way, the Vmaxtanks MR107 12v 85AH battery is wonderful. I highly recommend this product.

I believe it does according to the manufacturer's manual. I only use it for 18360 batteries.

I am not using it on AGM batteries, but they are just lead acid batteries in a more efficient configuration, so I wouldn't be afraid to use this battery charger on AGM batteries.

No 100% that it will, because I don't have the smaller batteries. I can tell you for certain if this will work with your batteries u will love this product. I use it daily

I would assume that you could hook up two batteries in parallel (positive to positive and negative to negative) to maintain the same voltage but double the amp hours, but the better choice may be to just purchase a larger capacity battery in the first place. There are some very nice maintenance-free AGM batteries available on Amazon from Vmax. You could contact them for a recommendation.

Any 12 volt AGM charger should charge your battery bank. The calculation that you need to consider is how fast you want the battery bank to charge and size your charger appropriately. Yes, this charger has a battery type mode to accommodate AGM battery types. Looking around on the internet, this battery charger on its highest setting of 70A should charge your bank of batteries in 14-18 hours.

I used the 200w report solar panel system to charge that batt. 3 of us ran laptops and phones as well as a heavy water pump and the solar panel kept it full almost always. Did this for 17 days. I'm not sure how much AGM batteries are meant to deep cycle though so look into that.

I do not think you should. There are specifics that you need to watch while charging AGM Batteries. You really should have a charger with a voltage meter so you can make sure you do not over charge and damage the battery.
