Ooops, I should have mentioned in my message about charging AGM batteries that it is recommended that you have a temperature sensor on your battery bank so that your charger can provide temperature compensated voltages to the batteries.  Apparently, AGMs are more sensitive to over charging than are lead acid wet batteries.  On very hot days or where the batteries are in a hot compartment the un-compensated charge rates may be damaging to your AGM batteries.  

Again, consult an expert and your battery manufacturer.
