[QUOTE="Ridge Runner, post: 610334, member: 3775"] I have run the AGM test Vs Size of charger again only this time I used the 15A Noco Smart Charger and I ran the Battery even lower But I don't know if it was because of cycling the AGM again but it charged faster using the 15A charger compared to the 26A charger, I used 37.9% or 30Ah from the 80Ah AGM and using the Noco G15000 it took 7 hrs 8 minutes to completely finish charging, Cutting the charge time in half, where as before I drain the AGM by 19% which is only half of what I did this time, 15A charge rate is 18.75% of the AGM's capacity and 26A is 32.5% of the AGM's capacity when compared to the charge times shows that a charge rate of 20% works a lot better/faster than a 30%+ charge rate. So I am guessing that 20% +/- is the best charge rate for AGM's, So for a 130Ah AGM 26A would be best. :perfect: [/QUOTE]
