AGM battery good for mule?

[emmado22]

All,

I have a Mule with electric start and 12v alternator. It has a lead acid 12V lawn tractor battery to start it, but found the following AGM battery, a Ritar RA12-33 that is much smaller and non leaking which I like. It starts the mule just fine. Any potential problems to watch for or is it ok? I know it is not a "automotive battery" but seems to work fine. Any ideas?

Here is a link to the specs. http://www.ritarpower.com/upload/pdf/2013022710220703447475.pdf

AGM batteries are great, if it has the cranking capacity to start the mule, use it. Only drawback is they do not like to sit idle and will discharge if not used every day or so. If you dont, then keep it on a trickle charge.

They also don't likr charging voltages much over 14.5 if I remember correctly. As long as your system is regulating fine, you should be fine.
