Henry, An AGM battery is still just a lead-acid battery as far as the chemistry is concerned. The only difference is in the way its packaged. By having the electrolyte (acid) asorbed into a mat you avoid the problems of a highly corrosive liquid sloshing around and some mechanical issues associated with the plates vibrating. I suspect that's why the military likes them. From what I've seen, Optima is much better at advertising than they are at building batteries. AGM batteries have their place, such as in military vehicles, but they're certainly not a panacea for all applications. Like any other lead-acid battery, they will eventually fail. Keith
