You'd be mistaken. My battery was new. The trickle charger

I have a "Vector" charger with separate settings for Wet, Gel and AGM

Group 31 Deep-cycle battery is fully charged I set the charge rate for
2A, and it switches into Float mode from time to time as well -- but the
battery still has to be kept topped up with water.
