Switching to AGM Batteries

I have seen lots of folks comment in the forum about switching to AGM batteries (especially if re-placing house batteries that have gone dead). I was under the impression that you need to verify the converter's charging system and how it functions especially charging modes before changing to AGM batteries.

I don't know a whole lot about this and have not researched it, but it seems to me there might be a lot of folks out there with converter/chargers that are not up to par for the AGM batteries that owners might have installed without doing the proper homework. And also having to change to a more competent converter/charger when installing expensive AGM batteries could add significant expense to the battery update.

Anyone want to provide guidance and offer cautions??
