Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) Motorcycle Batteries, Who's running one?

[Tom]

I use sealed acid batteries, acid batteries that you fill and AGM batteries.  I don't get the rusting because of the low humidity here and the use of battery protector pads and spray.  Frequent inspections help too.

I got one Motobatt seems ok

So it's likely then that the factory battery in my Stelvio is probably AGM?

It is most likely they were a "new technology" (read cheap enough for a consumer level product) about 20 years ago.

Odyssey batteries are not AGM,  AGM are not Odyssey!

The Odyssey batteries I've always seen aren't rectangular shaped like all other batteries.  They're 6 round tubes like what you posted claims they aren't now.    Maybe they have changed their construction recently or have more than 1 design now.

 Hey there AzWayne, I think your thinking of Optima Batteries. They are a spiral wound cell structure and look similar to a six pack. Red top,Blue top and Yellow top, all automotive and marine applications but they don't make smaller bike batteries. I've had a yellow top in my Dodge since 2003, still going strong.

That's ok Wayne, mines so bad I need retraining after a coffee break.
Odyssey batteries have always had a great reputation.

I put my Spark 600 agm in the mower in 2008 when I bought a pc680 for the EVT.  Mower started to show signs of weakness last fall but I'll try to get another season out of it.  I think that was original to the Guzzi in 2003?

Sure was. My Rosso Corsa had one. Preemptively changed it out at 12 years old. (!)
