This is my battery. Duracell AGM
I think sealed is the right choice?
One other thing after reading a rather long and boring article looks like the best thing to do is plug my converter/charger in now and then and let it do its thing to keep my battery in the best shape. I have one of those high tech converter chargers from BEST converters. The reason I say this is because if you are using your solar you never really have enough peak solar time to float equalize and all that good stuff. When plugged into the grid you do.

Equalization at 14.6 once a month for 2 hours should be fine.
GELL charging voltage at 14.2 is a bit low.
Flooded should be avoided due to 15.5 equalization.
I disagree with the article. Solar is fine as long as you have sun. There are programmable controllers where you can hit the battery specs exact and will adjust depending on usage.
Converter PD with Wizard or IOTA with IQ controller is always fine to plug in.
Boondocker and Paramode are fine too.
