I know you can jump start them off the positive and negative jumper posts under the hood. But what about using a battery charger or maintainer on them? Have any of you charged your battery located under the seat, from a battery charger hooked up to the jumper posts? Did everything work out OK? And what amperage charger did you use?

I have read that AGM batteries like a higher amperage charging rate, than standard flooded lead acid batteries do. Which is why I asked about the charging rate. I was thinking of doing this from time to time, to keep my battery in a fully charged state, because my Jeep sits for several days sometimes. And it's always better for your battery to remain fully charged as much as possible... Thanks in advance.
I have successfully charged by connecting under the hood.
