Hey Steve, the etrailer PWM Solar Charge Controller - 30 Amp - 12V, 24V, 36V, and 48V # e42PR can be used with AGM batteries when it is changed over to the Lead Acid battery type in the controller settings.
To do this, follow these instructions on the attached photo; lead acid battery type (also for AGM) is the USr1 setting.

This controller is also used in the following kits, so if you have these kits you will want to also follow these instructions:
- # e39FV
- # e49FV
- # e59FV
- # e77FV
- # e28VV
