AGM Battery Charging
I just noticed that the OEM battery for late model HD's are AGM. Now for years I have been just running Battery Tender and Schumacher maintainers. No choice for the bayyerty type, just plug in a go. Over the holidays I was gifted two NOCO Genius 5 maintainers, a very nice gift from my wife. I noticed that it has a AGM Mode. It is also a desulfating mode. However there is no way to activate the D Mode, it self appies if required. So what would the difference in charging be from flooded to AGM charging? I looked over the NOCO web site and they realy don't say. Thank you in advance for the replies.

I hate those little manuals that come with stuff, the print is so tiny you need a magnifying glass to read. I try and find the downloadable PDF for the item, then I can increase the print size on my computer screen for my poor old eyes.

I recently bought a 2024 FLHTP. Would that have come with an AGM battery as OEM? I've had no reason to take everything apart to view the battery myself yet but I have had it on a 1 amp maintainer.
If it was indeed AGM I do have a Prologix charger with settings for Standard/AGM/GEL. But of course that charger only has larger alligator clamps on it, no provision for a pigtail to simply plug into the bike.
