AGM battery issue/recommendation?
- Thread starter wandererr
- Start date
It's got an AGM option (with a push of a button you can get to the AGM option and the indicator lights up).
So my exide battery seems to have came back to life on the NOCO Genius charger. I got it fully recharged and so far it's holding steady at 12.6V with no load on it. I'll introduce load when I have a moment to monitor it better.
Now I'm looking at a second battery because it might be nice to have two batteries (just in case). I was at OReilly and saw that they have a decently priced SIZEABLE AGM battery. Any opinions on it? It's a big mother
Warranty is decent - 3 years with no proration.

Alternatively I am looking at the Duracell battery but it has only 18 month warranty through Sam's

Last choice is the Sears Platinum also with a 3 year warranty BUT I can't get as big of a battery as the other ones...

If you are doing AGM, you probably can't do better than Lifeline: http://lifelinebatteries.com
Not the cheapest, but possibly the best.

If the battery is good and doesn't fail in say, the first year, it is probably good for a long time. The biggest reason lead acid batteries fail is chronic undercharging.
The best cure is a good solar or shore charger.
As dwh loves to point out, there is some economic (and weight) merit to ignoring the 50% rule and using a cheaper battery, beating the stuff out of it, and replacing it early. The best example is generally that of using an open FLA as opposed to a "sealed" AGM.

Nope, it's a starting battery, just happens to have marine terminals on it. No reference to Ah, and judging by the weight, it's probably only about a 55 Ah battery or so.
