The AH number is what determines whether or not any coding needs to be performed. The problem with using one of the many formulas available for converting the Reserve Capacity Rating to Amp Hour rating results in values much higher than the 80ah-agm and 90ah-agm settings in Tool32 in EDIABAS. From what I know about AGM batteries, you don't want to over-charge or under-charge the battery ...

Just an FYI (sorry if this mystery was solved further in the thread...I haven't read all the way through it yet)...but the chart below shows the AH rating of EAST PENN batteries...regular "wet" lead/acid and AGM type batteries:
