I'm a convert to the AGM type batteries. They don't outgas so you don't get the hard, white crud on the hold down and the rot out of the firewall. They are also smaller and lighter than the 24 or 22, or whatever the original size was. The one I use is made
for the Miata when they were in the trunk. This battery type was probably not as prevalent 16 years ago or I bet Frank would have mentioned it. </div>
