Hi there,
I have recently purchased the above regulator for my camper and will be purchasing About 200 ah of Century AGM batteries.
The above regulator only has two options re batteries.
Gel batteries are: Boost at 14.4 volts and Float at 14.1
Wet batteries are: Boost at 14.4 and float at 13.9 as well as an equalisation charge at 14.7 volts for 2 hours every 30 days.

I have always read that AGM batteries should never be placed on equalise but the following century battery data sheet appears to show that this may be ok?

I would like to know which setting would best suit.
Keeping in mind that the gel setting at float is .3 volts higher than Century recommend.
Is this an issue?
Which way should I go?

Thanks
Chris.
