What did you do for your ZHP/ BMW / MINI today? #2

[stephenkirsh]

I picked up an Autocraft AGM battery from Advance auto. $159 after core.

Did not want to go back to a fluid filled unit.

Noob question. What’s the difference?

Noob question. What’s the difference?

Things that I've read:
AGM batteries for the most part don't need to be vented. They also give you more of the battery's useful life, as in, they'll function properly up until the very end, instead of giving you problems as they get weaker. I believe they have better performance characteristics in the cold as well.

These are just things I've read about it when I was about to make the same decisions on lead-acid vs AGM. Needless to say, I went with AGM on both my cars.

Also, AGM batteries don't "spill" like flooded batteries, so you can mount them in any orientation.

Do they differ much in terms of battery weight?

I couldn't find the weight for the Advance Auto batteries, but the Autozone Duralast H7 Platinum AGM weighs 53.56 lbs vs. Duralast H7 Gold wet at 42.91 lbs.
