Absorbed Glass Mat batteries (AGM) use lead acid in a gel form. They are not to be confused with Gel cell and should be treated the same as regular lead acid for charging rates.

Since switching to AGM'S several years back, Newell's warranty replacement has dropped by 90%, not to mention we seldom clean or rebuild battery compartments anymore. The AGM's in my 87 coach are now seven years old and still going strong.

AGM's are not perfect, but pretty darn close from my standpoint.
