I ran lifelines higher capacity group31 to 12.2v resting and it ate up over 100 amps from an alternator and while amps tapered to high 80's 10 minutes later, battery voltage had only risen to 13.5.
Phil, I think your hope that amp adjustment into a depleted healthy AGM via twiddling the voltage pot is not going to work to your expectations.
Perhaps if the power supply can be twiddled all the way down to depleted battery voltage and only very slowly raised, could you get it to not overload the ex650.
My observations with my Northstar AGM and my Meanwell and my watt meter which records peak amps, indicate there is almost always 25+ amps flowing when the battery is first hooked to the MW, even at only 14AH from full and voltage pot dialed to 13.6v.
Observations trump theory.
