P.S. If you did find a way to deliver 120A to your AGMs, they would in fact
take that and more for a short period of time.   Suggest you also read up
on charge current as a function of time vs. battery capacity for AGMs.
What you will also discover is that the time it takes to get from 50% SOC
to 100% SOC will not be significantly shortened by having the 120A vs. 80A.

P.S.S.  It takes many (6+) hours to get from 50% SOC to 100% SOC.  Your
goal should be to minimize the times you do not recover to a full state of
charge.   Cycling between 50% and 85% SOC for long periods of time will
significantly decrease the life of your batteries.
