Checking the battery in the caravan I just brought and find it is a Fullriver HGL 120-12.
Checking on their web site I can only see two series of batteries DC-AGM and DCG-GEL, so what is the HGL please?
Cheers Bruce.

I have 3 of the HGL 120-12 in my boat, so far so good. I don't expect any issues , have 2 x CTEK 25AMP chargers keeping them juiced.

Be careful you do not overcharge them. Do not set the output voltage above 14.2V and as soon as the charge current commences to taper off reduce the out put voltage to 13.6V or switch the charger off. One large overcharge or a few lesser overcharges can kill an AGM battery. Bet yourself a good 3 or 4 stage charger sooner rather than later.
