i have been looking at putting an AGM battery to replace the OEM in my car sometime soon.
i was reading some forums the other day and noticed that for my particular car, a late model ford mustang. Ford has some options to tell the BMS that you're using AGM battery vs the OEM (assuming flooded, havent even looked to verify).
the option has to be changed via obd2 port and some diagnostic software or a dealer should be able to do it. from my reading its not "required" if you switch to AGM battery, but the car supposedly handles charging and discharging a little differently, maybe a couple other things too?
if anyone has a late model vehicle (or even an older one with a lot of computers), and is switching to AGM battery. it may be worth it to check out some enthusiast forums to see if your car or cars BMS has similar functionality.
