Mtn Don brought up a good point in a recent thread which I hadn't considered. He stated that an AGM battery could be damaged by overcharging. Hmmmm...
I'll be using a group 27 AGM in my build & was planning on having the truck alternator charge it for me while I'm on the road. With the "normal" output from an alternator running to the battery in the trailer, is there a danger of "cooking" the battery if I'm on the road for 8 hours at a time? I don't know the usual voltage the truck runs at now, never bothered to look, but is this a bad idea with an AGM? I will have a 100 watt solar panel to use installed and mounted permanently, so it should make plenty of power on a sunny day to keep things topped off. Is the circuit from the truck even really necessary at this point?
Thanks, tim
