Default Trickle charing

It's getting cold here and I don't drive my Panny all the time. I want to trickle charge it. My garage is heated but poorly heated. I have a
NOCO GENIUS5 5, but my question is do I hit 12v or 12vagm? I believe 12v would be fine correct?

It depends, if you have a regular flooded battery then the 12V setting is perfect. If you have an AGM battery, then use that setting.

Check the label on top of your battery. It should be AGM to support the Auto Engine Start/Stop feature.

Most probably you have AGM. AGM likes to charge at 14.7V especially in the cold. Regular lead/acid likes 14.4V, The NOCO will drop down to float (13.3V) when the battery is full.

So if I have AGM I just hit the AGM setting on my NOCO and it'll be good?

Yes, just set for AGM and it will automatically switch to float/maintenance mode for storage once the battery is fully charged.
