Charging: The charging voltages are the same as for any standard battery, there is no need for any special adjustments or problems with incompatible chargers or charge controls.  However, AGM batteries are sensitive to overcharging and undercharging and improper charging can reduce overall capacity.  You can buy battery chargers with a AGM setting that is better suited to these batteries.  It is recommended to use a battery charger designed for AGM batteries.'''Charging''': The charging voltages are the same as for any standard battery, there is no need for any special adjustments or problems with incompatible chargers or charge controls.  However, AGM batteries are sensitive to overcharging and undercharging and improper charging can reduce overall capacity.  You can buy battery chargers with a AGM setting that is better suited to these batteries.  It is recommended to use a battery charger designed for AGM batteries.'''Charging''': Never charge a gel cell battery with a conventional lead acid battery charger.  These batteries are finicky and are easily destroyed by improper charging.  They must be charged at a slower rate(C/20) to prevent excess gas from damaging the cells.  These batteries are never to be "fast charged."
