1st the AGM thing ----- one thinks its a step ahead of traditional batteries nope --- whats with ford --- why not put two normal batteries in the damn thing. I had a converted diesel to gas way back int he day --- it had two batteries - they lasted forever.

Now to the ford -- no lights come on when you open the door, sob text me all the time its going to sleep in a heated to 65 degree garage seriously.


Agm in my new boat -- thats another turd and another story two long to write here. Worse part about that turd is they made the battery hole so you have to put it in end by end. Stupid

Tried an AGM on the ol' Honda Rancher figured my battery issues would be less, wrong. Don't think I even got a full 2yrs.
Overall batteries just aren't as good as they used to be

work bought one of these and I was impressed enough to purchase my own.

NOCO GENIUS5, 5A Smart Car Battery Charger, 6V and 12V Automotive Charger, Battery Maintainer, Trickle Charger, Float Charger and Desulfator for Motorcycle, ATV, Lithium and Deep Cycle Batteries​


it has a cycle to restore batteries, I used it on 2 different old lawn mower batteries and they worked all summer last summer. $70 for the charger and seems to have restored the batteries.

I got mine on amazon and work purchased theirs at NAPA.
