What size of battery will this charge? I have a 12V system with 220ah (2 deep cycle 6V Lifeline AGMs). Will this charger charge this size of system?

This charger can accommodate two 12v battery's, 24v total. Sounds like all you need is a single 12v charger.

I believe it will charge a lead/acid 12V batteries of any capacity- The larger capacity will just take longer. It has settings to match Flooded, AGM, and Gel battery technologies. Mine's doing a good job keeping the Group 24 AGM Start/House batteries healthy in my Flicka. I'm happy with it. to match various battery technologies.

in my opinion this charger will charge your batteries as it has a agm setting which is good for your batteries but just to be sure seeing the size of your batteries and the expense of them I would go with a bigger amp charger

The rule for large AMP hour batteries, such as yours, is to use a charger which puts out 10% of your battery's AmpHour rating. Since your batteries are 200AH, you would need a charger which puts out ten percent of 200... which is about 20 Amps. It doesn't matter that you are using two batteries... the calculation is still 200/10=20This 12 amp charger may, or may not, be capable of keeping your high amperage AGM batteries free of sulfation (which is why the higher amperage charger is recommended) Your best bet is to use a charger which puts out as close to 20 amps as possible.

It charges both style of batteries. I have charged my 7.2v 1100mah, 7.2v 1600mah battery and my 8.4v 1600mah NIMH and it did the job with no problems. if it will do those it will charge yours just fine. I have had mine for a year and it still works.

This charger is for 12 volt batteries only. If you are looking for a very good charger / maintainer for 6 and 12 volt batteries, take a look at the Black & Decker BM3B. Great charger for the price!

By regular size, do you mean like a group 24 or 27? I would not rely on the 12V side of the generator to charge my house battery. I would get a 30 to 15 amp adapter and plug that directly into the 120V AC receptacle on the generator. Let your on board charger charge your battery.

Will charge 10.8v and 12v batteries per the manual. I only have the 10.8v battery so 8 cannot vouch for a 12v battery.

AGM Batterys have the same charging specs as Lead Acid battery' (shttp://www.bdbatteries.com/mcharging_procedures.php) so no problem. The charge info is found here (http://www.progressivedyn.com/prod_details/rv_conv/rv_converter_pd9245c_2.html).

Hey Jeff It fit my Sawsall, not sure of the number. But like I stated, it would NOT charge in any of my 110 or 12 volt chargers, only in my Radio/charger. So I left it in the radio to run the radio. Mike

I don't know as I haven't used my charger other than as a 'backup'. The used Honda generator I bought was a 'companion' model that allows two 2000i generators to be hooked together. That feature takes the normal 12VDC output off the circuit panel. I needed a back up power for 12VDC. It's 8amp and won't overdraw on the generator. Mine works for what it does, charges wet-cell 12VDC batteries. I haven't had any experience with AGM (glass-grid) batteries. Regards. D. in Lacey, WA

I am not using it on AGM batteries, but they are just lead acid batteries in a more efficient configuration, so I wouldn't be afraid to use this battery charger on AGM batteries.

If you match the proper size batteries to your panels through the right size charge controller you will have no problem charging the batteries. The generally accepted ratio is 1 1/2 watts of panel per amp hour of battery for a productive charge. This unit is not a charge controller. This is a 12 volt power inverter that converts the 12 volt power in your battery to 120volt ac for common use. I have one of these. It works ok for the money but it doesn't produce very "clean" electricity.

Dear Kenneth, Thank you for your message. There should be a built in charger in your system that is charging the battery. If you have the battery for a long time and it is not working, most likely the problem is with the battery not the charger. If you are sure that the issue is with the charger, then most likely you need a 12v 2amp charger. Unfortunately I wasnt able to find one with the model number you have provided us with. Please let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with.

You should read the Battery specs. AGM batteries if charged at 12 volt DC only. NOT 12.5 to 14.5 or more, like most chargers. AGM's will take an Unlimited amp charge at 12 volts . Its the charging voltage thats critical with AGM's Check the spec's at Optima's website or any info about AGM's. I have the 1500 model and it charges at 12 volts only. Works fine on any battery AGM ATV's and big Sears Platium Odessy AGM's and brings back to life old trailer lead acid's.

Need to have a smart charger to charge AGM battery. Charger will shut off when battery is charged. Need to charge or get battery maintainer so battery will last long time

This charger is designed for AGM batteries. Works very well with the agm battery in my Harley, and the diehard in my truck.

Its a decent trickle charger for its cost. AGMs will do fine save one drawback, this charger float charges at 14.2V, which is a bit high for AGMs, as they prefer to be floated around 13.8V. Its not a hazard because AGMs will tolerate up to 14.4V, but at the cost of battery life

I have used these chargers on agm batteries with years of success six volt batteries as well just make sure use a surge protector and check them because sometimes you have to disconnect and reconnect to reboot

Yes. This charger will charge it as long as the battery is 6 or 12 volt and the ampere hour rating is less than 15 ah. If it is larger, this model won't have enough power to fully recharge it. It is rated for 1 1/2 amps. You would need a larger unit.
