Using the proper charger is critical to the performance and life of your AGM
or Gel battery. If you are not sure if you have the right charger for AGM or Gel
batteries, please call our technical support line at
(800) 522-8191
or email

for verification.
4.1 - CHARGER INSPECTION
1.
The charger cable should be insulated and free of breaks or cuts.
2.
The cable connectors should be clean and properly mated with the battery
terminals to ensure a snug connection.
3.
The charger’s AC cord should be free of breaks or cuts and the wall plug
should be clean.
4.2 - CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES
1.
Use an AGM charger or setting whenever available for AGM batteries. Use a
Gel charger or setting whenever available for Gel batteries.
2.
Never use a GEL charger or setting on an AGM battery, as it will undercharge
the battery and significantly reduce battery capacity and life.
3.
Many, but not all, wet battery chargers will work for an AGM battery. Call
technical support at
(800) 522-8191
or email
to verify your charger. Be prepared to provide the make and model of your
charger.
4.
Batteries should be fully charged after each use. Opportunity charging can be
done, but the batteries should be fully charged at least every other day if they
are used daily.
5.
Charge in a ventilated area, as gases may be released through the pressure
relief valve if the batteries are excessively over-charged.
6.
If the charger does not have temperature compensation, avoid charging at
temperatures above 122°F (50°C).
