Stan, About 9 months ago, I purchased a BatteryMinder,#12248, battery charger. There is a setting for 2 amp, 4 amp and 8 amp charging rate, There is also a setting for gel, flooded and AGM Batteries. BatteryMinder says the 3 different batteries have three different charging voltages. BTW, AGM batteries look like sealed batteries too.
The charger cost me a pant load. Could only buy it on amazon or ebay. It is designed for keeping batteries healthy and desulfating plates. Can't really say if it does either.

The worst thing you can do to any battery is overcharge, undercharge or let them go dead. If you invested in an expensive battery, you may want to invest in a good charger too.
