This is a function of the charger that removes sulfation from the battery plates. Conditioning AGM Batteries Apart from being the safest and best charging option for AGM-specific, they have the most sophisticated charging process – in our estimation, the CTEK in particular. We’ve mentioned a couple, the quality and reliability you’d expect from a NOCO product. With higher quality components and hardier materials it’s just less likely to break down or create a dangerous scenario (though not impossible, of course). This lumps AGM batteries in with Gel and Deep cycle batteries but actually AGM batteries are charged in a completely different way to Gel batteries. With a higher power rating, the BOOST X GX75 is also one of NOCO’s most versatile jump starters, capable of restarting large vehicles such as tractors and SUVs.

You may only use NOCO corporate logos, product, and lifestyle photos in compliance with these Terms andf you charge it correctly, and with the right battery charger for AGM (with the optimum AGM charge voltage and desulfation mode) you can get a really long life out of it. However, you may remember earlier we mentioned that AGM batteries don’t suffer from acid stratification.

And for charging AGM batteries, that right amount of charge is different to other batteries, as we know. AGM Charge Voltage for CTEK ChargersBy the way, there is an even bigger beast (the NOCO Genius Pro 50), but only really for professional users, with price to match, Any other Genius10 benefits I should be aware of?

Now, it’s important to be aware that other battery maintainers, such as the CTEK MXS10 charger, also have desulfation modes. CTEK’s is also excellent (they too have a high-end Reconditioning Mode) but most of the other chargers on the market have relatively ineffective desulfator modes (understandably given their cheaper price).While this may be overkill for most motorists, for absolute reliability in the toughest of conditions, this is one of the best battery chargers on the market. If they don’t even mention AGM batteriesspecifically, it’s a near certainty that they’re not suitable for AGM! As we said earlier, even if they don’t actively cause harm to your AGM battery they’ll never fully charge it, and then you’re on a downward slope to early battery death. The AGM charge voltage is 14.6-14.8V to properly charge from a discharged state; they needthis voltage. This is compared to normal lead-acid batteries, which need 13.8-14.4V.
