There is conflicting information and I’m glad i did the test. I don’t see many stories of an agm battery lasting as long as the one designed for the car. They need a different charge than what my car gave it.
I thought about getting rid of the battery cover and going with a bigger battery but I didn’t want any more experiments. I recall putting in the agm and turning on the car and frying my lights instantly. (It wasn’t the battery) but my New battery sat in 5 degree weather for 12 hours and started without a fuss. Also it frees up a little room in my battery tray so I can reinstall a hold down clamp and trickle charge without the hood open for snow to blow into the engine bay and cabin filter shorting out the blower fan when it’s -3 outside.
