Good system, you should have no problems with charging your Van Battery with the Anderson plug as long as it is compatible with an automotive charging system.

You can find this out by getting the Model number off the battery & Google it.
This site I found has good charts that show all the stats on AGM Deep Cycle Batterys.

I have one more question regarding AGM batteries.
I have a CTEK XS7000 smart charger and would like to charge/trickle charge my AGM battery, what mode would I have to set the charger at (Normal(14.4) or Snowflake (14.7))

OK this is what I found on the net & it should have the info you require.

Take yourself to Battery World or Battery Kingdom they have a kit that will do the job and it is easy to install. Comes with clear instructions and most of it is already setup.
