Which Power Converter do they Install

I did a search, can't find the answer.

Which power converter does ETI install? Does it have a setting for AGM batteries. Is it smart, or does it boil batteries till they're dry?

I have an AGM from the 17B sitting in the garage and after 5 years voltage still holds.

I found the answer

In another current thread I found the answer.

The power converter is a WFCO 8955 Power Center

They’ve been using the WFCO 8955 forever. It is notorious for being virtually impossible to get into Absorption mode at anything over 13.6V. Which is fine for AGM’s, but can lead to sulfation, or stratification, and degradation of performance and life, of flooded batteries, over time. There are lots of threads about mitigating this with a good solar setup, or by replacing the WFCO.
