After a lengthy discussion with Battery Minder Plus customer support, They said the AGM model 12448 is for AGM's & has a higher charging voltage. The model 12117 will work on any battery but not as good if you have AGM's.
If you have multiple batteries you need the model 12248 8 amp.That said: If you have 3 stage chargers built into your coache these items will have NO value in your application.12 Volt 1.33 Amp Charger-Maintainer-Conditioner (Desulfator) It is basically a battery maintainer for parasitic loads. Barrybeam 2003 U320The BatteryMINDer Plus charges and maintains any size 12 volt car, boat, RV,motorcycle battery without ever overcharging. Note that the unit also works onOptima, Odyssey or any sealed agm-type batteries and does not require anadjustment.The BatteryMINDer Plus comes complete with a molded ring terminal assemblyand insulated battery clips. The ring terminal assembly has a replaceable fuse.The 18-gauge lamp wire for connecting multiple batteries is not provided in thepackage.GENERALThe BatteryMINDer Plus Charger/Maintainer/Conditioner Model 12112 is designedto charge and maintain your battery without ever overcharging it. The unit utilizespatented technology to produce a wide range of high frequency pulses (RFP)designed to dissolve both old and newly formed sulphate. The pulses free the batteryfrom sulphate and extend the life of your battery.The 12 Volt - 1.3 Amp BatteryMINDer Plus allows you to charge up to 4 batteries(parallel connected for 12 volt, or series connected for 6 volt) at a time.
The batteriesmust be the same type (starter, deep cycle, sealed gel, AGM, etc.). Also, thebattery voltage (6 volt, 12 volt), the resting voltage (minimum of 11 volts for a 12volt battery and 5.5 volts for a 6 volt battery), Amp and the condition of the batteriesmust be the same if you charge more than one battery at the same time. Seepage 7 for more information on parallel and series connections.Use the BatteryMINDer Plus on your battery at all times (winter, summer, spring orfall) when your battery is not used for 4 days or more. This will prevent new sulphationfrom taking place and will lead to dramatically increased battery life andperformance. Do not remove the BatteryMINDer Plus from your battery unlessyou place the battery back in service.Failure to keep the BatteryMINDer Plus connected to your battery at all times thatthe battery is not in service will affect its performance claims.The BatteryMINDer Plus Specifications Input105-130 Vac 50/60 HzOutput12 volts @ 1.3 AmpsCharge Voltage14 VdcFloat Voltage13.4 VdcDesulphation Pulse1.0A @ 3.26 MHzFloat Current5 Ma - 200 Ma.Size/Weight3-3/4' L x 2-1/2' W x 2-1/4' H / 2.3 lbsBattery Voltage vs. Charge Percentage Hydrometer Reading on Each CellVoltage1.2712.7 volts1.2512.5 volts1.1912.3 volts1.1512.1 volts1.1211.8 voltsTesting your BatteryIt is extremely important that you determine the health of your battery before youattempt to recharge and recondition it.
If any of the cells are shorted (no readingon a hydrometer tester), or the difference in charge level is greater than 0.50 SGbetween any two cells (two ball difference if you use a ball-type hydrometer), yourbattery cannot be properly recharged and reconditioned. Discard the battery in anappropriate lawful manner.The BatteryMINDer Plus has no electrical output unless it is connected to ahealthy battery. Testing the BatteryMINDer Plus with a volt or an Amp meter withoutthe unit being connected across a good battery will result in a false reading.

Carefully remove all 6 caps or both manifold-type covers from your battery (3caps on a 6 volt battery).2. Check the water/electrolyte level. If the level is low or has ever been belowtop of plates, severe lead plate sulphation has taken place. Significantrecharge/reconditioning time is needed to restore those plates to a conditionwhere they can be expected to function normally.3.
Refill each cell with distilled water only to a level of ¼' minimum over the topof the cell's plates.4. Recharge the battery with the BatteryMINDer Plus to ensure that it is slowlyand completely charged before you determine its condition.5. If the BatteryMINDer Plus does not start blinking within 72 hours, your batterymay be too far gone to be reconditioned.
However, press the maintenance button to set the unit in the maintenance mode. The light will blink continuouslyuntil it is disconnected from the battery.6. Allow the battery to remain in the maintenance mode for a minimum of 72hours before you test it for dead cells. Use a hot/cold calibrated hydrometertester for the most accurate results. If you see an increase in the SpecificGravity (SG) indicating that there is an improvement in the battery's condition,continue desulphating for an additional 72 hours and retest the battery.Continue this process until the SG reading of the battery does not increaseanymore.Testing with a Hot/Cold Calibrated Hydrometer TesterRead the tester instructions carefully for most accurate readings.1. When using the tester the first time or after a long period of non-use, fill thetester with the battery fluid and let it sit for 1/2 hour or longer.
This will soakthe balls in order to give you more accurate readings. Failure to do so willgive you false readings indicating a battery that may not be in as good acondition as you may have thought.2. After inserting the tester in a cell, gently tap the tester several times againstthe inside wall of each cell to dislodge air bubbles that will cause more ballsto float than should. Failure to do so will yield false readings that indicate abattery that is not fully desulphated or does not qualify for desulphation.3. If no balls float in any cell, the cell is considered shorted. This means thatyour battery is beyond the point of being properly recharged or reconditioned.4.
Mr oizo stade 2. Dispose of the battery.5. If each cell floats two or more balls (or 1260 on gauge-type), your battery canbe reconditioned.6. Always rinse the tester with fresh water after every use. Failure to do so willcause false readings.7. Store the tester in the holder to prevent breakage.Testing a Sealed, Maintenance-Free, Gelled-Type Lead acid BatteryThese batteries have no filler caps or manifold-type covers.
If you cannot gainaccess to the interior of your battery, because it is sealed, you cannot test it with ahydrometer.1. Test the battery with a voltmeter. If the voltage is less than 11 volts, chargethe battery overnight with a regular charger or with the BatteryMINDer Plus.2. Let the battery rest for minimum of 8 hours, which means that you do not useor charge the battery for 8 hours.3.
Test the battery with a voltmeter. If the voltage is less than 12.2 volts (25%charge), the battery might have too much sulphation in it to reach full charge.4. Connect the BatteryMINDer Plus to the battery.5. Lightly touch the Maintenance button to start the maintenance/desulphationmode after 3 days.6. Let the BatteryMINDer Plus desulphate the battery at least a week in themaintenance mode.7. Test the battery again with a voltmeter.Installing the BatteryMINDer PlusBefore you connect the BatteryMINDer Plus to your battery, test the battery forany shorted cells and check the voltage in the battery. The battery has to have aminimum resting voltage of 11 volts before the unit will turn on.
Resting voltagemeans that the battery has not been charged or discharged within 8 hours minimum.If you test a battery that has not rested for at least 8 hours, you will getincorrect, inaccurate readings.1. Test your battery first before you connect it to the BatteryMINDer Plus. Seepage 2 for more information on testing the battery. See page 5 for more information about installing the BatteryMINDer Plus inside or outside of the equipment.2. Check the voltage in your battery.
If the resting voltage is less than 11 volts,use a regular charger to charge the battery to full voltage before connectingthe BatteryMINDer Plus to it. The BatteryMINDer Plus does not turn on if thevoltage is lower than 11 volts.3. Plug the battery clip assembly supplied in the box into the mating plug at theend of the BatteryMINDer Plus's output cord, or attach the ring terminalassembly to your battery's terminals (red to + and blue to -).4. Attach the battery clips to the posts or terminal clamps of the battery (red to +and black to -).5.

Plug the BatteryMINDer Plus into an AC electrical outlet as soon as possibleafter you have made the connection to the battery. Note: The unit will use thepower from your battery and drain the battery if you do not plug it into anelectrical outlet.7.
The red indicator lights to show that there is AC power going into the unit. Ifthe red light does not come on, check your outlet to make sure that it isswitched on.
The red light stays on unless the outlet is switched off or theBatteryMINDer Plus has failed.8. The BatteryMINDer Plus charges your battery to full voltage first before itautomatically goes into the maintenance mode. The green light stays solidduring the charging mode.9. The green indicator light starts blinking automatically after the BatteryMINDerPlus has charged the battery to full voltage and goes into the maintenancemode.
If there is a lot of sulphate in your battery, it cannot accept full charge,and the BatteryMINDer Plus does not automatically start maintaining (thevoltage in the battery has to go up to 14 volts).10. If the green indicator does not start blinking within 72 hours, press themaintenance button to manually start the maintenance mode.11. Leave the BatteryMINDer Plus connected to your battery at all times when it isnot in actual use. You can never overdesulphate your battery.See page 7 for more information about connecting multiple batteries.Connecting the BatteryMINDer Plus when Batteries are installed in the EquipmentFollow these instructions when battery is installed in equipment (vehicle, PWC,boat, tractor, etc.).
