PShawn, Charging an AGM requires either a special charger or a method of fooling a regular charger.... with low voltage, they do not "see" the battery and charge it. So the "trick" is to fool it with a conventional battery that has a near full charge. One hooks up a parallel connection (not...

juanprado, you are right, but each of them were significantly higher on the battery price as well and/or may have not followed through on giving me core credit on the big 8D, which was $60. I didn't have to find out, since O'Reilly core was only $18 and they DID give me credit on an 8D. This...
