Mixing AGM w/Wet Cell batteriees

[squiredude]

I have a good set of 4 house batteries all AGM 6volt style.  I have been offered a set of good 6Volt Wet cell batteries and I am not sure if my charger can handle mixing batteries..

Can I mix them on the same bank?

I would keep the AMGs since you are already set up for them and you said "I have a good set of 4 house batteries all AGM 6volt style"

HI Herman,

Thanks for the reply,  I do intend to keep the AGM's but I want to see if I can ADD 4 or 6 Wet cell 6volt batteries to the current bank... total of 4x AGM & 4x Wet Cell

Thanks
Phillip

I don't think that would be advisable. They have different charging requirements and your inverter won't know the difference.

If you opt to do that, I'm with Herman.  Normally I would not mix types or ages of batteries.

Why would you want four more batteries?  Last summer I went from eight 6 volts to two 12 volt....all AGM deep cycle.  We don't dry camp and are all electric, work great.

Thanks to all for your responses.  I was of the same thought that you cannot mix dissimilar types of batteries.  just wanted others confirmation.

That is two different settings on my inverter/charger.
