Hi. What you want to know is the charging parameters of said batteries..
The 8a4d batts from deka are monoblock design.
Bulk and absorption voltages should not be more then 14.4 volts. This is what the house converters in the coaches/rv's are usually set for. ( With the charge wizard in bulk mode is 14.4 typically) Minimum bulk/absorp voltage is 14.1
Floating is a bit low though with typical on board converters. They usually float @ 13.2. Deka 8a4d's want 13.44-13.56. So a bit of a discrepancy there.
The other issue is these converters go to 13.6 v once out of bulk. They stay there some 30 hours before hitting float. It would be better if the converter never went into float for these batterys.
( But maybe they are special made converters for dynamax? IDK)
Also typical converters equalize every 21 hrs or so for 15 minutes at 14.4. Deka states an equalization so I would not worry about it. Some tout no EQ for agm.
With that said the guy who set his solar to flooded batts, that bulk/absorp voltage will most likely be too high... Flooded batts usually have a 14.8 setting for bulk...
Put the solar controller back to agm mode. And go into the settings and tweak them per deka.
14.4 bulk
14.4 absorption
13.5-13.6 float
14.4 Eq.

Also to get the fastest charge you can hit these batterys with 30% of the c/20 rate. ( For those that boondock)
396 amps @30% = 118 amps. ( Now it will be hard to get solar to crank that in.)
And I believe dynamax gives you a 90 amp converter/charger. If its close to the batts and thick wire you may get close to that amperage.
So start that generator and make sure the converter goes into bulk mode. Its time based of 4 hours. It may only put 90 amps in for a short time. Then the amps start tapering. ( LED on charge wizard tells you what mode your in.)
So running you gen for 4 hours from 50% discharge is the best you can do to charge them while boondocking. Solar will help the cause. Solar should take over from there after the 4 hours.
But to what clemens stated, home chargers are often automated. And battery type must be inputted into the charger for proper voltages before charging.
If you use an old style dumb charger these often charge at 14.7-15.3 volts. No good for AGM's...
Just my 2 cents...
