I also find with a single Clore in PS mode that the FDRS voltage dips down to 11.8. Interestingly enough I used a multimeter at the battery posts and found a far less scary 12.4V. It seems like the Mongoose consistently reads voltages almost a volt lower than what my multimeter reads.
As a precaution I always have a 20A battery charger on hand as a backup. If I really needed to rescue.
Otherwise FWIW as a former EE working on control systems for these kinds of devices I don’t really recommend hooking two power supplies in parallel like this. They are not designed to account for this, though in practice your AGM battery stabilizes the 12V bus enough.
