Here's a good study.
Find an image of an AGM battery online. Stare at it, while pondering the following...
It is a lot heavier than a flooded battery
It has about 85% of the usable capacity of a flooded battery
Then look at the price.
At this point, study the "sealed no maintenance" points, higher CCA and discharge capabilities.
Then return and look at the price.
Sleep on it a week if you have to.
Then look at the price one last time...
Have you fallen off the fence to one side or another, yet?
