AGMs can be charged very fast. But not like the LiIon technology.



Let's charge a 500AH AGM battery in 30 minutes from 50% at 500A and watch
it happen.


The specs say it will work. I don;t have the means to test it.

I'll be some 500 yards off observing the proceeding through HEAVY
lenses..(c;


Your heavy lenses indicate your nearsightedness with regard to anything
involving
AGMs. You have indicated your distain for the technology in the past. I
expect
nothing more.

Question - If AGMs are such great chargers, so fast, why don't Honda and
Toyota hybrids have AGM batteries...instead of Ni-MH??


Well, AGMs are batteries not chargers. The batteries in the hybrids are not
deep
cycle batteries. They are 6AH at 201+ volts. They are only good for 6 or 7
miles
if used as the sole drive source and will be severely dammaged.
