Does an AGM battery require a battery charger specifically made for a AGM battery or will any charger work? I saw where Mikes XS sells an AGM charger.

I'm not sure about all, but I read some instruction booklets on regular battery chargers and tenders and a few of them mentioned not for use with glass matt batteries.

I use a Schumacher batterycompanion 1.5 amp 6/12 volt trickle charger with my agm. Kept me going for quite a while when my rotor was bad.
30 +/- bucks at Tractor Supply.

Be sure to charge AGM batteries at low and slow rates......this site has an excellent tutorial on the subject and are excellent suppliers of both properly sized AGM replacement batteries and charger/tenders. Good prices and service as well.......
