Battery upgrade vs dual battery install

Question for OptimaJim
"gel and gel/AGM settings should be avoided".
What setting is appropriate?

 

[Hilldweller]

Just use the regular AGM setting, not "deep cycle" either.

My Optimas charge back up to 13.2v every time, no problem.

GregB, I'm happy to be of assistance. bluejeep, as Bill indicated, regular settings or AGM-specific settings work just fine. The main thing is to avoid anything that has “gel” in it, as gel settings often have very specific charging parameters, that may not fully-charge non-gel batteries.
