can I use it on AGM battery?

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.

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.

According to Lifeline the maker of my AGM batteries either the gel or sealed setting will give the right voltage. One thing you might need to know is if the batteries are discharged say down to 50 or 60% you need to bulk charge with enough amps (most say at least 10%of the battery bank's capacity), so a 300 amp system would need at least 30 amps as a minimum and more would be better in order to assure a full charge is achieved. You may want to check with your battery manufacture to get the exact specs to charge with so you can get the longest life from your batteries. I just use the 180 watts of solar panel to keep my already charged batteries at full charge. Have a great day Gary

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.

No, you do not. It is recommended to install an AGM type battery with this excellent alternator but, not necessary. Any excess current is shunted away from the charging circuit. Same as with your original battery which also over-produced at higher RPMs.

The size is shown in the instructions, which is a common size for riding lawnmowers and such. You SHOULD use a deep-cycle AGM (absorbed glass mat) battery. The battery lives in the control box, just below the control electronics compartment. AGM batteries do not out-gas acid or combustible levels of Hydrogen during charging. This will prevent damage to your control components. AGM technology was invented for our nuclear subs, for exactly those safety reasons. Do not use a standard automotive charger on an AGM battery. The charger in your kit will operate at a safe level to bring your AGM up to charge, without damage to the battery.

AGM and SLA (Sealed Lead Acid) batteries are the same thing.I hope this helps you with your purchase.

Yes you can. AGM batteries don't contain any free roaming fluids like a lead acid battery and they have minimal venting so you can use them inside. If your going to use this battery enclosed make sure you have at least some venting to avoid the possible build up of explosive hydrogen gas. They are also military spec so they hold up to the elements very well. After 2 years of 90° Summers and -10° Winters outside they still look and funfunction like new.!

I think so. Since it is a YTX type and I never had to add water to the three batteries this bike has had. Although AGM are totally maintenance free and I did originally had to put acid in it, I am not sure it would be classified as that type of battery.

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, AGM batteries are a kind of lead acid battery. However, there are several types, and the AGM tend to be one of the safest kinds if that is the reason behind your question. In general terms, AGM batteries are sealed so there is no chance of acid spill or hydrogen off gas with normal use. Additionally, these kinds of batteries tend to resist damage from poor charging habits and discharge better than flooded batteries.

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

Yes, you can use this battery as long as it fits. In this case more is better, 5Ah's is better than 4.5Ah's. FYI, (Ah) stands for amp/hours.

This is a battery for trolling motor use. Check out Vmax website for a cranking battery. They make top of the line batteries and stand behind all their products. You do not want a deep cycle AGM battery for starting a motor.

Most any good charger will work. Check to see if it has a special setting for AGM batteries. If so use it.

No, we don't recommend mixing between Flooded, AGM or Gel batteries, they all have different chemistry, which means they have different voltage profiles.
