The OP should "recondition" his AGMs ASAP to make up for undercharging them so far, and then get on track.
What do I do to recondition them?
From that earlier link--
"REFRESH CHARGE
If Fullriver batteries are properly charged they
should never require an equalizing charge. If
they were not properly charged and there is a
decrease in capacity, recharge the batteries and
make sure they complete the entire charge cycle.
It appears from that, that you don't do an overcharge, but do a deep cycle. Draw them down to say 60% SOC at say their 20 hr rate (doing a pair of 6s at a time) 415/20 = 20.75 amps
Then recharge fully per instructions in that link (figure 1)
However, usually a recondition means a slight overcharge for a length of time, but I don't know how much for how long is good with AGMs. Fullriver seems to have its own way as above.
IMO, call their tech support and try to pin them down on what exactly to do in your situation. (please pass along what they say) I suppose the Magnum charger can be adjusted to do anything Fullriver wants, but if it can't, that's another issue. There are adjustable voltage chargers that can if the Magnum's adjustments aren't suitable.
