I replace my battery every other year. Only AGM battery as well. Not worth the chance of having a low or worse, dead battery
Hooray!

I went with the pep boys version of our battery on sale for $70 plus I had $20 in their rewards cash. Second season but holds a charge well, will keep all posted. The Yuasa was not available locally for me and I think was quite a bit more but I agree they are good batteries too. Key is not to charge them with more than 1.8 amps as the fiberglass mat vs lead plate design of an ASM battery will short out if your charger pumps more than 2 amps into it.Yes yuasa, sorry stupid spell check

First one is a traditional "wet" design w lead plates and liquid acid around them. Tip over and battery acid will tip and leak... The second one is non-spilling but does not say AGM (fiberglass matt interior no plates for vehicles that tip MSD flip). Chances are you are fine but be aware if you tip on side battery may need to be checked.WEll, ended up getting this guy.

If you look at the description at the bottom of each page, they are both AGM batteries.

Great. I read "wet" quickly last night on link, my charger has a wet, gel, AGM setting, interesting it refers to an AGM as wet. AGM is what you want with all the motion, learned keep charger below 2 amps so don't use your wet charger setting. A fresh battery is always good.If you look at the description at the bottom of each page, they are both AGM batteries.
