What battery charger do you use?

Another vote for NOCO, they have settings for almost every type of battery, you can catch them on sale as said above at Amazon, I have caught them on sale at Academy Sports also in the fishing area. Very well built product

Pricey but this one is the bomb. If it reconditions one nearly lost battery you recoup a lot of the initial expense. I have 2 models of CTEK chargers. These little guys out perform my floor models.

AGM batteries have the same charging profile as flooded lead acid (FLA) batteries so any charger will work. AGM batteries differ from FLA mostly in that glass mats (the GM in AGM) are sandwiched between the lead plates which prevent the plates from shorting against each other if conditions cause the plates to warp. AGM also is vented through a pressure release mechanism (VRLA), rather than the open vent FLA employs.

To answer your question, Victor chargers stand above the crowd in my opinion. I have 9 batteries of all types (FLA, AGM, LiFePO4) on charger tenders at this moment. The Bluetooth feature displays SOC of any/all batteries at a glance on a smart device.

AGM charges slower to a lower voltage than LA batteries. Charging AGM on LA settings with shorten the useful life of the AGM battery

Have a Noco Genius 10 and 2 amp models. Those take care of all my battery charging and maintaining needs.

Primarily BatteryMINDer and PulseTech maintainers for plugged-in use, and mostly Sun Energise 10 to 25W panels for vehicles that aren't near a 110V source.

Either way, what I use has desulfation. If not, like the solar panels, stand alone units by Canadus or PulseTech are used.

I bought my first Noco, a 750 as I needed a very small charger for a new dirt bike. I was so impressed that I've bought two more 1 amp models. Very happy with them and yes, they will charge a group 27, if you are not in a hurry

I have an AGM battery in my Hustler Raptor X lawn mower that needs charging. I've been told that a normal battery charger (Schumacher SC-600A) can't be used. What battery charger are you using for AGM batteries? Also, the battery in my Kioti DK4510 is getting weak, and I'm thinking of replacing it with an AGM battery. Any suggestions and/or issues?

Any properly functioning charger will be perfectly fine for intermittently charging that battery.
I guarantee you, that your relatively primitive charging system on your Kawasaki, that charges it every day you use it, is doing absolutely nothing special about optimization of AGM charging curve preference.

My big Challenger 655E has a solar battery charging panel built into the roof of the tractor cab. All tractors should have that

I highly recommend a charger that’s desulfurization capable, I have a tractor that a battery never lasted more than 5 years but after I started using charger with desulfurization the battery life doubled
