AGM Battery maintenance/charging for dummies?

[Borrego60]

I am running a Guest 2026 charger and love it, 3 stage flooded,gel and amg batteries. Been working for about 4 yrs and not one problem.

As for a specific recommendation:

Well...sooner or later I'll be replacing the charger in my camper van. The charger I'll be using?

It can do one, two or three batteries (hard wired and internally isolates them from each other), though the 15a of available current is shared between them (fine, my starting battery won't need 15a to top it off anyway).

It can be switched between 3-stage (if I want to do a full 3-stage on either of my batteries) or 2-stage (where it will normally be since it'll be hard wired to both batteries).

It's simple, and bulletproof. Has internal fuses which can be replaced by removing the cover.

EDIT to add: It also has built-in mounting brackets.

And, it's got a nifty analog meter on the front AND a flashy-blinky LED. Woot.

Did you buy the Samlex yet? How is it working out?

I tried looking that one up and it seems that it is the 2620A http://www.marinco.com/product/20-am...rgepro-charger

Are you charging two batteries at a time?
