If this
Boondocker is the one you are reading from, you need to look at the chart on page 2. The middle stage 2 - absorption, which they call normal, is 13.6V. That is not enough Volts per the manuals you read.
I doubt that 13.6V would do anything useful on a cold AGM. My solar controllers hit 15V in absorption around freezing. In summer, I have seen as low as 13.37V. I trust my solar chargers enough to leave them unattended.
I recently STFW for a charger that I would trust to leave unattended on my AGMs. Boondocker missed the cut. I did find two, a Xantrex Truecharge 2 and a Samlex.
Can you go into more detail for your solar controller(s) charging profile?
