In a pinch, I recently bought a 'starting' battery (Group 27) per my earlier post (no marine stores open after 6 on Saturdays) Then I decided to get a replacement for my dead Lifeline AGM battery. Of course, Murphy lurking about, I realized that my Zantrex Truecharge 40 wants all the batteries it charges to be the same since its charging schemes apply to all three outputs to the batteries. Before I pull the 'rope-a-dope' of returning the starting battery, I need some list advice: A lot of sailors suggest using a 'starting' battery exclusively for starting and using the house batteries for the house. I am aware that an AGM can be used for starting as well. However, if a 'starting' battery is better for this job (CCA, etc.) and the AGM is better for its job, how does one use a single charger like mine to satisfy different charging schemes?
2 chargers, a smarter charger that has outputs for different battery characteristics, or 'forgetaboutit" and charge both batteries as though the were both AGMs? Charlie Nelson Water Phantom C&C 36 XL/kcb [email protected]
