I picked this up on Amazon... I hardly ever drive my Jeep and the battery gets low sometimes. I need to give it a charge.


I know the battery is a regular AGM, but there isn't really a regular AGM specific setting on this thing.

It has:

Optima AGM
Auto/Marine
Optima Li
Powersport


I'm figuring for a regular AGM battery any setting except the LiPo option will work... but I can't really find a clear answer anywhere. Anyone know?
 
Use the Auto/Marine setting. LiPo is only for Lithium Ion batteries.

Will do. I figure the Optima AGM is probably the same too, I mean, what could be the difference if they are both AGM batteries?

Optima uses a SpiralCell technology instead of flat-plate construction found in most AGM batteries. They also use better materials, which can lead to faster recharging and higher cranking power. I would think their charging parameters are higher than those of a standard AGM battery. So to be safe, I would just use the standard Auto/Marine setting.

Perfect, thank you for the help! They sure could make the descriptions on the charger better, IMHO.
