AGM is merely a sealed battery Yes, yes, I know there are some differences between the AGM and the batteries you're used to know, but the main distinguishing factor is that it's sealed.

Generally AGM batteries can be charged faster/ discharged faster and last for a shorter period of time. The are some long lasting AGMs but in general 800-1200 cycles @ 50% DOD. While charging AGMs gassing voltage must always be in the back of your mind.

Addition: AGMs are also less vulnerable to sulphation.

Ditto.

Also read on the web yesterday, from a very respected resource, that as the AGM's get older, they can start gassing. It is advisable to ensure they are well ventilated and kept under same conditions as say T105RE's.

I mean, they are VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid).

So in MY mind, unless you have a specific reason for them, T105RE's are better value just on cycles, in my opinion, therein my disinterest in AGM technology for my purposes.
