Flooded Batteries on Float
It's been mentioned that flooded batteries just keep accepting amps seemingly forever whereas AGM's will stop accepting amps when they're full. Don't know if it's true or not but I can say that my bat...

Try buying a luxury German SUV...VW Audi, Porsche. All of them have an 8 speed automatic gear box, a high torque version capable of handling 1000 newton meters of Torque, from when Audi stuffed a big old 6L V12 TDI diesel that made those kind of numbers into an Audi Q7, just because they could.
Transmission? Aisin, made in Japan. In a Porsche. No idea where the AGM batteries that we sit on, just underneath the drivers seat are made. China? Lead smelting plants here in the USA were shut down by Obama. No more batteries or bullets?
All the car manufacturers buy parts from subcontractors, out of a 'toybox' You'd be surprised how many cars share the same part models and numbers.
That Touareg I bought last year has a 10 year /100,000 mile drive train warranty... is that excessive? Got it in ink, in writing, hope that ink is worth something.
I learned about 17 years ago that just because a part says Robert Bosch, does not mean it's german made. Tons of MAF sensors, temp sensors, all kinds of sensors, with the German name "Bosch" on them, were being made in China with little Quality Control oversight, and exceedingly high failure rates, on German made cars. Very,very maddening, paying german "quality" prices back then for chinese junk with just the "Robert Bosch" label on it. The Fleecing of the Lambs by Volkswagen.
