AGM Battery charge rate

Got a Land Rover (Exide) AGM battery in the S/C. With the Ctek charger should I use the AGM setting (14.7V) or the normal (14.4V)?

The Ctek instructions say that some AGM batteries use the 'AGM' setting and some use the 'Normal' setting.

I emailed Ctek and got a reply. They don't know as Exide don't publish the info. They suggested that if in doubt I should use the normal setting. What do you guys do?

The good news is that the AGM battery in the S/C holds it's charge much better than my previous vehicles so will not need charging as often Thumbs Up 2012 5.0L S/C
