Hey, guys, a couple more questions...
According to this ad, AGM don't need special charger...
"MK AGM Batteries requires no special battery charger as do GEL CELL
batteries. If uncertain if the battery charger you currently using
will properly charge an AGM battery please consult us before using the
charger. Typically RV and Marine charging systems require no
modification when using MK AGM Batteries."

And this charger seems mighty good --and cheap...

I just 'love' that doublespeak! LOL!

As far as the charger goes, it shows on it a setting and light for the
AGM battery so it's right.

Did you find out the motor's draw yet?

It hasn't arrived yet. I went to another store and looked for details
in the box (not the manual itself) and nothing.

I've come to the conclusion that the draw on that motor is top secret.
Not even the manufacturer will reveal it. And to add to the confusion
the guy at the store told me that it wouldn't last me more than half
an hour on the 32 amp battery.

He is then implying the battery will draw over 30 amps! That is a
serious draw needing welding or car starter sized cables.... LOL!

I don't think so. But if it draws 15 amps on full....

Now that 32 AH battery is about the smallest one made though. It can
take a 30 amp draw for one hour only or a 2 amp draw for 15 hours. A
100 AH battery isn't much larger in footprint.... Maybe the wind will
come up or there is current, that can make the motor work on high speed
which will draw amps, maybe even 15, I don't know.
