My Aims 1250 Watt 12V Pure Sine Wave Inverter Charger PICOGLF12W12V120AL has 2 settings for AGM Batteries. I was going to go with AGM1, but it seems to me the battery is AGM2 or 14.6. Not that it can be much difference. Anyone really know the charge voltage for this battery? (See Title).

I have msg in to the vender.


AGM 1
14.1 - Charge
13.4 - Float


AGM 2
14.6
13.7
 
When it doubt, error on the side of caution and go with the lower setting.

Both are pretty close, and would "probably" be fine. But by going with the lower settings, at most you are risking a slightly longer charging time... at most. Not a big deal until the vendor can confirm the proper charging algorithm specifications.

Set it at 14.1 charge voltage or AMG1. Battery is on float charge ready for the times we go without power. Last year we had 4-5 hours. Who knows this year. I like to be prepared.
