Converter seems to be overcharging house batteries?

Yahoo Message Number: 74523
I think my converter keeps overcharging my AGM house batteres because it keeps charging forever and I noticed evidence (wet spots) of fluid spewing out of the AGM battery vents. Prior to disconnecting from shore power I see a fully charged battery lite on the remote Zantrex panel with a float charge of 13.4-13.5 volts. As soon as I disconnect shore power, I start the generator and the battery goes to full charge (14.5 volts) and the fully charged lite goes out. It may take 1.5 hours before I finaly get a fully charged lite. Yesterday, I didn't start the generator and let the engine alternator do the job and I had a full battery lite in about 5 minutes. And, as mentioned, I noticed wet spots on all the AGM battery vents. Anyone have any ideas? TIA
