So, if you plan on parking on or continually climbing and decending steep hills (or sideways on hills), buy an AGM battery. IF the wet cell is filled properly, and your charging system is not defective or damaged, you should not have a problem with post corrosion. For the batteries that leak around the posts and cause corrosion, regular maintenance for that battery (cleaned and. kept clean) is fine. This discussion is starting to look like the 'oil' preferences (and the like) posts!

Just copied a post out of the link that was posted by dedward. That says agm is sealed.

Just cause I stated I like agm batteries better since they don't have corrosion problems flooded batteries have.
