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...

Yea I would not press AGM too hard.

This AGM thing is difficult! We have Lifelines that want oodles of amps, but only 14.4v, while many others want 14.8v but only 30% amps.
Now we have this Sam's Deka that only wants 30% amps AND only 14.1-14.4 volts.
AND temperature compensation which the PD9260 the OP is considering doesn't offer. What to do? ... ignore this requirement? :h
In my own case I now use a small CTEK 7 amp charger instead of my WFCO 8955 and for maintaining my aging G27 flooded Interstate it does quite well as it does properly bulk charge at 14.4 volts which the WFCO has never done. However, if I do upgrade to a pair of AGMs, or even just one G31 AGM, I'd also seriously consider upgrading from the 7 amp CTEK which does not offer temp compensation to either a CTEK Multi US 25000 or NOCO G26000 - 25 / 26 amp chargers that do have temp compensation. Better choice than a PD9260 that doesn't? ... maybe. ;)
