Optimally, you would want to modify it to be controlled by an external regulator. Deep cycle AGMs usually have a different maximum charge voltage and always have a much higher charge acceptance (amps) ability. Therefore, without a temperature sensing regulator, you could easily overheat an undersized alternator. AGMs cost real money and I would baby them.
