Getting to Know your Charger
Understanding Battery Types & Charger Settings
There are three primary types of 12V batteries in the marketplace today: Standard Flooded (Lead-
Acid), AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat)/high performance AGM, and Gel cell (Gelled Electrolyte Lead-
Acid). Traditionally, the most common type of batteries used are Flooded (Lead-Acid) batteries.
Almost all Gel cell batteries will state that they are Gel cell on the battery case or labels. In addition
to the 3 lead-acid batteries, lithium batteries are becoming readily available as lead-acid battery
replacements. Shown below are OPTIMA ® D200+ charge voltages at absorption and float levels.

NOTE: AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) batteries are not Gel (Gelled Electrolyte Lead-Acid) batteries.
Gel batteries require a completely different charge profile. OPTIMA
batteries. AGM batteries can accept the same charging profile as Flooded (Lead-acid) batteries.
