Ok I was talking with a guy at Deka who makes the AGM batteries I use. He said it was a good idea to exercise the batteries, meaning it's good to take them down to 60-70% frequently and charge them back up and this would help ensure that the batteries get a long and useful life span.
The guy said that I bought charge controller from (Midnite Classic 150) said I needed to know what the Bulk, Absorption, Float & Equalization voltages were to setup the charge controller.
So I called the Battery Manufacture and he wasn't familiar with those terms He said not to exceed 14.6 volts, He also said the batteries need to receive 13.8 volts to start charging & Fully charged the batteries would be at 12.8 volts. So i'm not sure what's what can anyone help me define what the Bulk/Absorption/Float/Equalization are? Dan the guy I bought the charge controller from said with AGM batteries I should set the Equalization voltage to Manual as they really don't need to be equalized true or not?
