Wind Gennie Voltage?

I have a LVM 12v dual battery (dump) controller to regulate feed from my Aero4gen wind gennie. I need to get new house batteries. I would like to use AGM batteries which normally like a charge of at least 14.5v, bit higher than car starter batteries. I would like to know what voltage this controller supplies charge but cannot find any details about it. Can anyone provide any details please?

Cheers

Re: Wind Gennie Voltage?

If you take the controller off the bulkhead you will have access to a 'pot' on the back.
Small screwdriver adjustment and a bit of a pain as it is hit and miss.... you have to adjust and then sit back and listen for the hum of the big green dump resistor... when it starts humming check the voltage and re-adjust.... its pretty primitive .

I think the range of adjustment is between about 11 and 17.5 volts... there should be a sticker next to the trimpot.
