    I swopped the original Banner battery in my last motorhome (Bailey) for an AGM. The only adjustment was to the solar panel controller. There was no issue with the built in battery charger. If you check your handbook it might well have some advice?

    It is not recommended to charge an AGM battery using the battery charger setting for a lead acid battery. You run the risk of overcharge the AGM, causing overheating, venting, and permanent electrolyte loss.
