You can IF you properly isolate the batteries from each other. RV's routinely use lead acid batteries for starting and agm for the house loads. They install an isolator so the alternator charges each battery bank individually off of 1 alternator. Or you can run a dc to dc charger or charging relay setup to also do it. You just have to use a system so different battery types are not paralleled at rest because agm batteries have a higher static voltage than lead acid do, so if you mix them, the lead/acid will constantly drain the agm battery at rest.

Correct, AGM and lead acid charge differently, that is why most AGM batteries die early.

I have had no computer issues with my Evinrude and the computers in 10 seasons with all the computers on her.

Just my experience and opinion, if you gave me a Merc verado....i would not take it.
