An agm is essentially a lead acid since it still uses lead acid, it is just absorbed. This is what prevents leakage and allows any position.
It is not a gel battery so any charger will work with it.
However, a trickle charger is not the best unlkess it has an auto shutoff to prevent overcharging and is capable of charging at 1 amp or less.

I use a vector smart charger. It was more than 10 but has worked excellent.

An AGM DOES require topping off every few months of storage. They do lose their charge, just at a much slower rate than a standard lead acid.
