AGM Super Cycle Charge Voltages

I have just bought a 125Ah AGM Supercycle Battery. I’m not sure why the data sheet and the information on the side of the battery don’t look the same.Could someone please advise me on the best Absorption, Float and Storage voltages for this battery. I have a Blue Smart IP65 charger and a an MPPT Blue Solar charge controller.

I've also just noticed that the data sheets for 'normal' AGM have the same numbers. So which is correct, the Data sheets or the numbers on the battery body?

Hi @hartleb

The datasheet have the correct numbers. Those on the battery label are the max. values which should not be exceeded.

A good starting point for not heavily used battery is 14.4V absorption, 13.6V float and 13.2V storage. Correspondingly higher (within in the limits) in the case of very heavy use and high discharge currents.
