Tiara Open 1988 Crusader original alternator - What is need to change to AGM batteries ?
#1
Spring project is to add a new onboard charger, isolator, and house bank. 

Are the stock 1988 Alternators compatible to charge AGM Batteries? 
If not, anyone has a link to what is needed to upgrade them? 

ProNautic 1230P Charger

ProIsocharge 130A x 4x Output
1988 33 Open - 454 Crusader - Trophy Hunter

AGM batteries prefer a low charge rate but if you don't frequently run down the batteries and use the engine alternators to charge back up you should be ok with OEM alternator. Set the charge rate accordingly on your house charger and you should be good.
