Actually, I did this and ruined a set of batteries in two years. You have to match the cell voltage with the charger. Wet cell batteries, AGM, and gel cell all have different charging voltages/ cycles, they don't vary that much, but when I hooked up two 130 Amp/h wet cell deep discharge batteries to my UPS, it would over charge them. The next batch I used were AGM and I adjusted the charger in the UPS to match the batteries. They have lasted seven years now and are still going strong. I get at least four or five power outages a year here so mine get used a lot. You can find the correct voltage in the battery manufactures specifications. The worst thing you can do to a lead acid battery is to over charge it, O
