How to charge a AGM battery using CTEK XS 7000 charger

[Nisspetro]

Guys,
I have one more question regarding AGM batteries.
I have a CTEK XS7000 smart charger and would like to charge/trickle charge my AGM battery, what mode would I have to set the charger at (Normal(14.4) or Snowflake (14.7))

Patch,
Thanks for the link, i just wanted to know if someone else has this charger and is charging a AGM battery, what setting are they using? I know it recommends for most AGM, but then it says for maintenance charging and temp above 5 deg to use normal...........its all confusing, main reason for this line of questions is so I don't damage the battery and void my warranty.

Yep understood I would recommend the NORMAL setting in your case (Its what I would do if it were mine)

Patch,
In regards to my AGM battey delema, I hvae the following battery details:

Battery - Fullriver model DC105-12 (105AH/12 Volt AGM battery)
Charging cycle 14.5V - 14.9V/ 25 deg C
Float 13.6V - 13.8V/ 25 deg C

Ctek XS7000 charger has normal mode - 14.4V Snowflake mode - 14.7V
This tells me I can charge the battery in Snowflake mode......... do you agree
