Choice of converter for AGM batteries
I plan on replacing my Trojan T-125's with 3 (or 4) x Lifeline 12v AGM batteries @ 215 A/H for a total of 645 (or 860) A/Hs total. I want to use the 12V batteries since I dry camp 90% of the time and ...

Sounds good, the Boondocker adjustable sounds like a good choice.
As per the specs though, it seems like the AGMs want .27c, which with a 645 AH bank realistically means I can’t achieve that with even the highest amperage charger.
My original plan for the batteries was 3x 12v 215, so i’d need to set up a switching system to charge them individually (one by one), or change up the choice of batteries (to something that would balance to 2 banks, and charge them separately)?
What do you do to manage the switching? Cut-off switches on + from distribution post back to each battery or battery bank?
What are the pros/cons of going with more but smaller amperage batteries?
