     * Incorrect Absorption setpoints.  AGM is commonly Absorped at <= 14.4v while FLA is commonly Absorped higher (at 14.7v-14.8v).  Check your manufacturer's recommendation and do not exceed it.  Overvoltage causes irrepairable damage by outgassing, and AGM cannot be topped off again like FLA.     * Incorrect Absorption setpoints.  AGM is commonly Absorped at <= 14.4v while FLA is commonly Absorped higher (at 14.7v-14.8v).  Check your manufacturer's recommendation and do not exceed it.  Overvoltage causes irrepairable damage by outgassing, and AGM cannot be topped off again like FLA.
