any issue with charging a agm battery using noco genius normal mode?

[apollo18]

hey all, i may have charged a agm battery using the noco genius 2 normal mode rather then the agm mode. is this any ill effect to the battery? or is it fine?

thx

fine.

The end voltage will be lower than an AGM would require for a full charge, but other than that theres no problem.

What is the charge voltage of the NOCO in normal mode? In AGM mode? As long as the voltage in normal mode in not higher than specified for your particular AGM battery, it will be OK. But AGM batteries are less tolerant of overcharging than flooded batteries.

Doesn't have auto sensing?

It should be absolutely fine.

I've heard if you use a normal charger to charge an agm, to charge at a low amperage like 2 amps. Apparently these batteries charge much quicker than regular flooded lead acid batteries opinions? My side by side battery dies of it doesn't get used enough. I just spent $180 on an agm powersport battery for it last year. Should I jist charge it at 2amps for a couple hours and throw it back in the side by side and go for a ride?

It’s better than nothing. AGM has lower self discharge.

Just don’t do it again

I charged it back up on the 2amp setting, that small battery sure charges quick compared to a regular flooded lead acid. I think that's what the internet was saying that it can easily be overcharged with a regular charger

How big was the battery? Slower and lower is often better, no heat, less overpotential, less gassing. Some batteries can take it, others have a harder time.

Sounds like you went safe and it’s fine. If you’re above sulfation voltages, you’re not damaging anything. You’re good.

Like 400cca basically a riding mower battery

what voltage is above sulfation voltage? It was flat dead at like 11v when I initially checked it and it slowly came up and I took it off once it was holding like 14v and it was right at 12.6v resting. I think this side by side is like a car where it has stuff on it that draws a small amount of juice to retain settings and such. My boat doesn't have this problem it has two batteries with a battery switch and I constantly forget to switch to the other battery so it can get charged/used too.
