Does anyone have some advice about charging AGM batteries.
I have several chargers and some offer the AGM option, I understand they should not be trickle charged to avoid over charging.

However I do not have one which does 6v AGM and cannot find one.

What is the best way to charge it?

The 12v ones I have make the battery very noisy.

Thanks
Matthew

I've just bought a RING charger
It does 6 and 12 and is a maintenance charger
Does agm apparently.
But I've also found the Ring technical guy helpful to talk to to clarify before purchase

I just use an ordinary charger (CTEK) and it works fine. I don't think there's actually any real difference between charging AGM and wet batteries other than that AGM don't like very high charging current. But then neither do wet cells. It's lithium batteries that need special care.
