Notice the differences in bulk/absorb and float charging AGM, Flooded and Gel deep cycle batteries.
Please set your charger to the type of chemistry your battery is.
As a rule, do not equalize AGM or Gel batteries. For a 12V system, they do not like 15.5 V
Can you mix AGM with standard Flooded batteries? No
an you mix Gel with AGM deep cycle batteries? No
What happens when you charge an AGM battery at the flooded settings? It will gas and eventually fail.
