another source for agm batteries
Hi, It's time for me to consider replacing four of my batteries that are now 8 years old. I came across this on Amazon. Any one have an opinion on this company? http://www.vmaxchargetank.com/...

I am still AGM shopping. Was seriously considering the Deka Intimidator/ Sears DiehardGoldAGM group 65 until I saw the max charging voltage of 14.6. My Vehicle will do 14.7 and occasionally higher, though usually short lived.
Now back leaning toward the DHPlatinum/Odyssey that lists 14.8v, for more CCA a few more A/h, and a bigger wallet hit.
Noticed my nearest battery distributor carries US Battery AGM. They have 27's slightly smaller than my current flooded crowns. Will call and check prices manana
Constant under- or overcharging will damage any battery and shorten its life! Use a good constant potential, voltage-regulated charger. Charge to at least 14.4 volts but no more than 14.6 volts at 68°F (20°C). The open circuit voltage of a fully charged 12-volt AGM battery is 12.8V at 68°F (20°C). As the battery charges, the building internal pressure (voltage) causes resistance to the charge. Therefore, the on-charge voltage must be higher (at least 14.2V) to overcome this internal pressure (voltage) during charging.
