I had a dead battery from WalMart (used a battery tool to check) on my 2010 Ranger that I replaced with a Die Hard Platinum AGM battery.

I connected the battery the same way that the previous battery was connected. ?I have very limited knowledge about batteries And wiring for electricity. Does anybody have any tips as to what I may be missing? Thanks in advance for your support.

Unfortunately you're not supposed to charge an agm battery with a lead acid charger. That will reduce battery life.? Look up "charging agm with lead acid charger" for comments.. The problem is a lead acid charger will attempt to push more charge into the battery as it nears full, whereas an agm charger will quit.

Check if your converter has a mode setting, and set it to agm if it does, and then you're OK.? You could also try and return or exchange the agm, but I wouldn't be surprised if they won't do that.??

If you're stuck with the agm and a lead acid only charger, don't leave your trailer plugged in for long periods, and that will reduce the problem, but you still won't get the expected lifespan out of the battery.

The situation you're in sucks.? You can get just about any solar charge controller, for as little as $15, and it will have settings for lead acid, agm, gel, and lithium.? But just about all the converters in our trailers, which cost $150 to $250, only support one battery type.

Thanks for the quick reply. My issue is that I’m getting shore power And everything seems to be working, but even with a new battery, nothing is turning on. I can work on getting a non-AGM battery, I need tips as to how I can troubleshoot the overall power issue?

I checked fuses, and it doesn’t look like any are blown, thanks again for the support

Did you check the inline fuse on the battery cable, near the battery?? Thats the most likely culprit.? The fuse could be blown, or the fuse holder could be rusty, or even the swages that attach the fuse holder to the battery cable could be rusty.

Quick update here. ?I was able to return the AGM for a traditional Die Hard Gold RV/Marine battery per your advice. ?I also did a check of all the fuses and had 2 blown fuses that I replaced and things are back in action!

Thanks for your support!

Very cool.
