AGM Battery
Mazda puts AGM batteries in the Miata since the battery is in the trunk area. Since the battery is sealed, you don't have to worry about electrolyte leaking into the trunk/fender area. They are more expensive to purchase and they require a charger that produces a slow charge rate, otherwise the mats can be damaged and the battery will fail prematurely. The one in my car is 6 years old. I bought a special charger that keeps it fully charged between drives. Works well.
