If you partially discharge your AGM battery, say by 20%, with the charger off, and then turn on the charger having removed the load; you should see the AGM get a whopping big charge. By that I mean maybe 20 or more amps. This would indicate that your charger is operating properly. Then it should go to absorb and then float stages. Float is a trickle charge. Once charged and absent any load, a modern charger should shut off.
What brand and model do you have? How old is it? Most importantly, is it adjustable to properly charge AGM batteries?
