Varta Professional Dual Purpose AGM Battery LA95

can anyone tell me which one this battery is for the settings on my EBL 630 B please

It's just a 95ah AGM battery which Varta say can be used for either leisure or starter.... No difference.
If you MUST use AGM then set the charger to AGM.
GEL are a far more reliable battery.

On the electro block EBL 630 B there are different settings in the book it lists AGM 1, AGM2/lead acid, or lead acid with different dip switch settings, just checking it is on the right one, warning to have it set correctly

I had the same problem, after many hours searching I went for agm 2 for my sterling b2b as many said that most new agm batteries are better charged at agm 2.
And as you didn't ask if gel were more reliable I won't voice an opinion.
Ok I will, the main reason that people have had problems with AGM batteries is that they don't realize that they need charging differently than a normal lead acid battery often requiring a different onboard charger fitting than found on most older MH.

This is a 2019 Burstner Iexo 736, it came with one 95 amp AGM so one would hope Burstner new what they were doing (???) fitted a second one to give me more capacity as we have a Dometic 35 Freezer box.
when we return to the UK having Lithium conversion so just need it to last till then.

You are looking for the setting to give you a bulk charge rate of 14.7/8 volts.

My Votronic triple charger has 2 AGM settings.
AGM1 gives 14.4 Volts
AGM 2 gives 14.7 Volts

Agm 2

If it came with an AGM fitted I would think that you don't have to change the setting.
