I bought a small CTEK 240v 5 amp charger 8 stage , to keep batteries topped up when they are not getting used much
I charged the 2nd batt under the tray of my 4wd , 105ah AGM batt , set the CTEK to AGM all good .
Then a couple of days later charged the Batt in the Tvan , it's a 75ah deep cycle sealed lead acid , I dunno why but I set the CTEK to AGM , brain fade I guess , about 12 hours later laying in bed , something flicked the switch and the light came on
the one in my head that is , and I thought I set that bloody charger to AGM ( bugger )
I'm not to worried dose it really matter , too late now anyway
regards Jacko

IIRC (I may be thinking of something else) they only have 2 settings, AGM and RECOND. AGM is for normal use and the RECOND is a reconditioning phase for very deeply drained batteryies

The charger has Motor bikes, Vehicles, AGM & Recondition Mode.
Where you have it should not hurt the battery or the charger, as you have said it is a sealed lead acid. Just go back and change the setting to motor vehicle if you are concerned. If you read you manual you will find the Motorcycle mode is for smaller capacity batteries.

Yep that's right Jim , it has 4 modes first push is Motorbike / small batt . 2nd is Car , 3rd AGM , 4th reco
then is says select AGM or Reco , that sounds to me you select car and AGM for any battery . That's what I did .

That's what I do with mine and haven't had a problem.
