[Spridgets] battery types, absorbed glass mat or flooded lead acid

[Mike Rambour]

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.
