it should say somewhere on the battery if its AGM or not.

  And a AGM battery can be tendered if the tender can do AGM, my tender 
has a switch for AGM and non-AGM.  Overnight on a any tender wont hurt a 
AGM, months can.

NoAt the risk of being repetitive, there IS a battery charger that will do 
both flooded and AGM, as well as gel-type lead-acid batteries, can be left 
on all winter or years at a time, and lengthens the life of your battery.

I am not a stockholder, not an employee, no relation with the company at 
all, but I have 6 of their small ones and an aviation one for my plane.

https://www.batteryminders.com/

I regularly get 12-15 years out of my occasional-use batteries including 
Jill’s Midget, the lawn tractor, lawn mower, motorcycle (Odyssey), an old 
cat battery I kept to run a 12V winch, etc etc. My airplane battery cost 
$285 back in 2007 and I bought the aviation BatteryMinder for it then. 
Continuously on charge/recondition since then and still tests good 15 years 
later. Other pilots usually get 2 years from an aviation battery and 
rejoice if it’s 3 years. Those chargers have paid me back for their initial 
cost many times over.

This is NOT a Battery Tender or Harbor Freight cheapie, or anything else 
that sounds like the same thing. This specific brand - -VDC Electronics 
BatteryMinder.

Very friendly and helpful people too.

Karl
