AGM vs. Gel...

[SirJoey]

Oops, my bad, I meant AGM vs Gel...

I've heard conflicting reports & opinions on AGM vs. Gel batts.

Can anyone give me an accurate summary of the pros & cons of each,
before I dive in blindly & possibly make an expensive mistake?

Thanx!

Good question and one where I tired to wade through the end product of hay through a male bovine. I ended going for a Lifeline AGM.
It would appear after wading through aforementioned end product that both need to be charged carefully and a special automotive regulator may be necessary with a gel. The Gel takes up more room for the same capacity.

Thanx guys! After doing the research, it looks to me like
AGM & one of those Battery Tenders is the way to go.
