AGM batteries – Worth the Extra Cost

This is always a great conversation.

If you are going to get a lot of use out of them, choose the battery with the highest reserve capacity or highest amp hours. The less you discharge a battery and recharge it back to 100% (cycle) the longer the battery will last. This is very important.

Here's the stats on the Interstate Batteries.

AGMs do have a lot of pros vs LA batteries, but I don't think they are always applicable.

AGM pros over LA
' much less discharge between cycles
' faster recovery from large amp draw
' much more durable
' faster charging
' can be mounted in any orientation(layed on their side)

If these pros are worth $100 to you, by all means get them.

I bought the group 29 LA batteries from Interstate because of their reserve capacity. I had to make room to make them fit but it was worth it. They aren't much bigger than the 27s in physical size. Less than an inch in each direction.

Most expensive gel car battery or cheapest? How often?

I think the Optima batteries are worth the extra money.

Purchased an Optima Red for my SUV, it was a great battery and lasted many years.

You can find coupons / discounts from Advance Auto. Order online for best pricIng.

I typically wait until the battery dies before replacing, but was a little more proactive with my last replacement. Had a ski trip planned and knew the battery was weak.

Fools think their own way is right, but the wise listen to others.
