My question is how to properly configure my Outback Inverter for "AGM" type of batteries.

I just replaced my two coach batteries from the original 12v Wet Cell to 12v AGM Batteries.
The charging configuration I have is:
- Zamp Solar (ZS-M-150) solar charging system. (Note: I was able to select AGM as the battery type on the menu)
- Outback FX2012MT Inverter.

Problem:
1. I can't get into the Outback battery charging menu screen. I can see Status, but am not able to change how the Outback inverter charges the batteries.
2. The programming on the inverter menu does not match the "Programming Manual" that I have, so I can't find out where to change the settings for:
Float, Absorb, Equalize, Depth of Discharge.

I wonder if Born Free wires the inverter battery charging and solar cell battery charging is such a way that the Zamp Solar charging system is in control of the battery type?

Found the answers!
For some reason, the menu access steps are NOT the same as the manufacturers instructions. You need to press the middle two (of the four) "soft buttons" on the Mate access panel. This brings up the missing menu to configure for our batteries.
If you upgrade from Wet Cells batteries to AGM or Lithium, you will need to access this so you don't ruin your new batteries.

Were you asking about access to the Advanced Function using the password?

Vlamgat, good morning. No, I was just simply trying to access the menus that allow changes to the battery charging settings so that I could change the Float, Absorb, Equalize, Depth of Discharge.
If I followed the written manual, it said to push the left button, but after a lot of frustrating tries, I found the sequence that opened up menu! It was depressing the middle two buttons. After that, the written manual matched.

Thank you for asking.
