If you already have a 3 stage it is likely it is of good quality. However, if you post the name/model we can verify.
If you can research the charging profile even better.
There is some overlap with charging profiles (wet cell/AGM) but most 3 stage C/C are fine for AGM batteries.
Randy at bestconverter.com is the go to Guy for upgrades. Swapping out a C/C is an easy upgrade if you need to.
A proper C/C and AGM batteries are one of the best upgrades you will do.
Set it...forget it.
I like that.
Good luck, Bill
