If they are AGM then they need a correct charger. I have one vehicle that has it and it stays on the charger 24/7 if not on the road. I use a Cteck brand. My OEM lasted 9 years doing this. As stated every time you take them off they start over, just not as long as if they not been on in a while.

Are we talking about the same thing? Honest question. When plugging in to shore power the converter supplies the charging current. I'm not even sure yet where it is (2000 Airstream Land Yacht) and it's not something I can check right now, but is it likely to have different charging settings?
Yes you will not be able to use the RV system unless it came with a high end or up grade to a higher end charge. Since you have a 2000 as stated you do not have a high end charger as OEM. Maybe an upgrade. If you going to run AGM then you need to configure the correct way so they will last. Charging voltage and rest voltage are different for AGM. 12.80+ for charging. My rest voltage is 13.1
