Charging a Battery Bank
I am planning on upgrading my batteries to 4 6v batteries wired in series and parallel to have a 12v system with plenty of Amp Hours. There is a ton of information on how to wire things up but nothing...

Based on eveyone's input into this thread, I've made a decision. I've decided to take SoundGuy's advice and buy 2 6V batteries instead of 4. I'm still going to get the AGM batteries though. Since I can't get Trojan's locally and only one brand of AGM battery is sold locally, I've decided I will buy the Duracell's that are sold at Sams Club. My WFCO 8955 converter/charger works fine to convert ac to dc but appears to have issues charging. My fuse is good and from what I can see of my wiring, it looks good as well. Instead of spending more time figuring out what exactly is my issue, I'm going to take the advice of BFL13 and buy a deck charger to accomplish my charging needs. I'm leaning toward the Power Dynamics PD9260 model but I don't know which one to get. There are two. The PD9260C and the PD9260C-14.8 I can't seem to find the voltage specs for the Duracells so I don't know if 14.8 would be too much? I plan on using the remote pendant for those units as well. Any suggestions on which model to buy?
I posted those Deka specs already. Here they are again

The regular 14.4v PD meets the Deka AGM specs, while the 14.8 would be over.
