The 7100 is a low end single stage converter, In fact I'd call it a power supply, It is not really that good at charging batteries since it is a single stage.. However running it in parallel with the other charger very likely will do no damage.. May slow charging a bit is all by "Tricking" the AGM charger into thinking the batteries are fuller than they are.
