For lead-acid deep cycle batteries such as AGM or Gel, you need a charger with an Amp output of 10-20% of the battery capacity. For example, a 100Ah AGM Battery should have at least a 20Amp DC-DC Charger. For Lithium batteries, the charging output should be at least 30% of the battery capacity.
Do AGM batteries need special chargers?
