i just bought a AGM battery its the first seal gel battery i bought for a motorcycle and with the reviews i been reading, i will never use acid again~~~

Both gel and AGM batteries work much better in a motorcycle application because they can withstand vibration better than water filled batteries. It's my understanding that they also hold up better under a deep discharge.

I've got a westco and will never go back to regular batteries again!

My experiences with gel batteries are that when they begin to fail, they do it rapidly without much warning. I have had 3.

I have not had much experience with gells. I have never had problems with Acids. They are simple enough. Just keep them charged and water topped off. Then replace them when they go bad. I know this probably won't happen, but I am paranoid of sealed batteries because they might explode. I know a normal vented battery will not build up pressure unless the line is blocked. Even then the line will shoot off before the battery bursts open. I used to have an exploded battery sitting on the driveway. I can't rember how it happened.

AGM is not a "gel" battery.... those were a bad variant of the standard plate/insulator design.

Hi Hobbyman,
a co-worker was looking out our office window & lusting after the pretty girls walking to the cafeteria. "Herb" I said "we have lived through the golden age, and it is over."
"And when was this golden age? he asked.
"The golden age was after the pill and before AIDS and it's never coming back."
