Just purchased a 1997 Champion 186. Having it rigged up with a 9" Garmin at the console, 10" at the bow, LiveScope, and the Garmin Force TM. This boat has an XPS brand 3-bank (5/5/5) onboard charger that I'm guessing is about 10 years old. My question is, can we install an AGM battery for cranking/electronics and 2 Lead batteries for the trolling motor? Will this cause issue with the AGM battery? Everything we've researched and everyone we've talked to seems to have differing opinions. The manual for the charger itself is not real clear either. Just trying to get some more opinions or first hand knowledge.
Thanks,
Paul
