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...

I pity the poor guy who wants AGMs with just a converter that does whatever it does, and he is stuck with that.
At 14.1 to 14.4 an IOTA or PD-14.4 would be fine.
Float on the PD is a bit below specs so my choice on this battery would be IOTA.
This one would fit. Also has temp comp. ISTR that Parallax has a newer line with similar specs.

My AGM wants 13.7ish Float so I just use the single voltage 13.8 converter for that like Phil does. That AGM wants 14.8ish for recharge, so I need another charger to do that part.
Really, since you usually have the converter first and then choose the battery, you should match the AGM specs to your charger's specs. There is a good range of specs among AGMs to choose from.
