AGM v. Flooded Cell (Error - AGM in M2C)
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Is there a valid reason to spec a flooded cell battery other than cost-cutting? EDIT- I was wrong. Once I looked more closely, I see that it is an AGM battery. KevinC (below) was correct. -Michael Last edited by ihbase; 07-02-2021 at 03:34 PM.. Reason: Incorrect information |

I'd say it's just about the money.
I think it was originally put in the trunk to help with the nearly 50/50 weight distribution, and it probably still does. A significantly lighter battery would throw it off some. |

It's AGM, says so right on the battery. BMW has always vented AGM batteries, nothing new there.

Perhaps the price will come down if that part becomes a more common spec across makes and models. -Michael |

I'm using Lithium from these guys…https://www.lithiumax.com.au/
$800, 4kg, no trickle charge, starts first kick every time even after sitting for several weeks. They have a fitting kit too. Had one in both my track cars too.
