CHARGING A AGM 12 VOLT BATTERY

Nov 22
2009

Constant-Voltage Method (Recommended Method)

The AGM battery is sensitive to high voltage charging (Above 14.4 Volts). The recommendation is to use a 6 to 12 amp, 12-volt automatic charger set at the regular setting. If you use a non-automatic charger, you need to monitor the voltage so it does not exceed 14.4 volts and/or 12 amps at any time during recharge. This battery needs recharging only if the open-circuit voltage (O.C.V.) is below 12.5 volts.

(DO NOT OVERCHARGE)
