Are there any issues using the standard RV charger/converter to charge AGM's? I normally leave mine plugged in all the time when it's not being used. And yes, I do check the electrolyte levels.
Yes, there would be problems... AGM have a slightly different voltage than conventional LA. I think a LA charger will never fully charge an AGM, and an AGM charger will boil an LA battery (observed this myself.)
I never looked into using my WFCO to charge my 800AH battery bank... I would hazard to guess a good converter will have a jumper or switch inside it to select AGM or LA battery type...?
