AGM batteries are/were the factory provided batteries in Mazda Miatas and seem to last a long time. My original battery lasted 10 years. This is significantly longer than more traditional batteries in my other cars (4 years) but that could also be influenced by the battery location: the Miata battery is in the trunk instead of under the hood. As I understand it, heat does impact battery life.

Anyway, I am looking for comments/suggestions regarding car battery replacement. Which I have done myself for way too many years....and I may still do this one.
What are the views of AGM or "flooded" batteries.
At this juncture in my process I would conclude the AGM batteries are a little more expensive and have a significant list of advantages over the "flooded" products.
What is/has your experience knowledge about the two?
