True Gel batteries (ie not AGM) are not compatible with AGM/Wet-cell chargers. I'ts not the amps, it's the charging voltage.
charging a Gel== 14.0 to 14.2V (float==13.1 to 13.3)
charging a AGM== 14.4 to 15V (float==13.3 to 13.8)
charging a "regular"== 14.4 to 14.9V (float== 13.1 to 13.4)
So, if you are using real gel-cells and charging them with an regular or AGM charger, you will fry the batteries
I can't really address you weight question
