What happens if you charge an AGM battery with normal charger?

Both AGM and gel batteries are naturally more stable and have much lower discharge rate than flooded cell batteries. They also have different needs from flooded cell batteries, and a charger configured for flooded cell batteries may burn out VRLA batteries, and cause them to die.

What is the difference between an AGM battery and a standard battery?

AGM batteries are extremely resistant to vibration, are totally sealed, nonspillable and maintenance-free. AGM offers better cycling performance, minimal gassing and acid leakage when compared with conventional lead-acid batteries. The end result of all of the features of AGM technology is superior life performance.

Can I mix AGM and lead-acid batteries?
