Keeping AGM's up???

How about if he charges them all into the mid 15's to kill the front battery? Then he can demand a refund for it and buy a new one?

J/K....listen to these guys and pull the front battery and get something else to put in the front. It is pay a little for that now or a lot later if you cause some damage to the AGMs.

The wet cell acts as a load constantly pulling on the agms just like what was happening when you had a batt that needed charged it made you think your alt was bad will do the same thing here

yea but that battery was actually 100% dead period. lucky me it didnt hurt any other batts. when i got those batts i tested all of them resting and that 1 batt was sitting lower like 11v, at that time it wasnt gone yet. but went eventually then i started having voltage issues and thought it was my alt.

lol i read that thread...... i understand what everyone is saying. im just saying that i keep my truck on maintaining charger at 13v on 2amps, pretty much any time its not running, since that battery doesnt rest as well as the agms, my question should have been if all the batts are charging at 13v is there any way the front batt will hurt the agmms

Your not listening its basically this either isolate the front batt with an isolator or replace it wih an agm or completely bypass it all together other wise it will pull other batts down period we keep explaing you just keep arguing man were trying to help here but you on gping but I charge them it doesnt matter you yourself said the fron is not a very good batt and has issues. My last post in this thread on this subject as I feel you will do what you want regardless.
