Yes, I went with an AGM battery. Have been using AGM batteries for some time now and love the fact that you do not have to worry about venting and just the general fact of how much more robust they are and forgiving of vibrations, climate / heat & of being discharged!

Now with AGM, you can go with a much smaller / lighter battery but for me, I liked the idea of keeping with the same size to maximize its power output.

Deka makes one. Model: 9A48: Amazon.com: Deka 9A48 12-volt AGM

But I also found that Interstate makes an AGM version of the H6! Quite a bit more expensive but with the original H6 being so much (identical) to the factory battery I really liked the idea of going with the AGM version of the same as I had hoped it would be an EXACT match in size & shape to the original.

And.... It IS!

Interstate MTP-H6A CCA: 800. CA: 1000. RC: 116.

Downside? Well, the battery was $195... But again, I am a firm believer of the AGM benefits so it was worth it to me!
