I jsut replaced my 4 wet cell 8D batteries with 4 Lifeline AGM's. The repair facility said I don't need to reset the charger for the AGM's.
Is that correct? I've looked at Xantrex web site and the manual suggests changing the settings for gel batteries?

See below for info regarding the differences between AGM and Gel Cell Batteries.

Wet cell is different from Gel cell and different from AGM. There are two types of AGM the Life Line type is different from the Decca style and on my Magnum inverter there are separate settings for the two types of AGM batteries. The AGMs will accept a much higher charge rate.

You can use the wet cell charging parameters for your Lifeline AGM's if your inverter/charger does not have an AGM setting. Without compensating for temperature, your Lifeline AGM settings should be 14.2 - 14.4 Absorption and 13.2 - 13.4 Float.
