Any more choices? Thanks in advance. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kb27 Supersonic June 5, 2014 Share June 5, 2014 (edited) Has anyone tried AGM batteries before? Any feedback? Seems not many available in the market currently: Odyssey, maybe Bosch, maybe Varta... Any more choices? Thanks in advance. Last time got one from Autobacs. Cost $300 Saw one lasted one year in a Sonata. Don't waste your money. AGM battery need special charging at a lower voltage. If your car is not equipped to charge AGM battery, it will die quickly. Automotive charging systems for flooded lead acid often have a fixed float voltage setting of 14.40V (2.40V/cell), and a direct replacement with a sealed unit could spell trouble by exposing the battery to undue overcharge on a long drive.http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/absorbent_glass_mat_agm Edited June 5, 2014 by Kb27 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
