Recommendation: don't charge from multiple chargers without a load on the AGM batteries.
Whenever charging batteries, voltage and amperage matter. Ideal charging regimens have been well researched and implemented. If you combine chargers from different sources, they don't take each other into account and usually over amp the batteries, causing gassing. If the load on the batteries exceed the charging input (charging while motoring), great... no problem, multi-charge to your heart's content.
Another solution is a (still expensive) power management system that manages multiple charging inputs (solar, genset, shore, wind, fuel cell, wave, regen, piezoelectrical, etc.) so the batteries are always ideally fed.
