Thinking of changing my lesure battery and been told AGM batterys are a good option but do you need to change the charging system if i change or swap batterys
Wow Link 2 lets a few ferrets lose.
Your set up with no vent holes is contrary to all best advice.Recently replaced our wet battery with AGM from Tayna Batteries. Wanted a sealed battery more appropriate for location in the habitation area (no vent tubes). No changes required according to advice from Tayna.
Just becasue there are many instances of a characteristic does not make automatically the correct of safest way to do it. There are 100's of 1000's drivers who speed - it doesn't make it right or sensible.I don't know about "all best advice" but there are 100's of 1000's of motor caravans with sealed AGM leisure batteries in the habitation area. AGM is better than wet.
There are 1,000s of premium SUVs with an AGM battery in the passenger compartment under the passenger seat, eg VW Touareg, Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne.I don't know about "all best advice" but there are 100's of 1000's of motor caravans with sealed AGM leisure batteries in the habitation area.

Are the AGM batteries in “ premium” vehicles starting, stop-start or do they fulfil a separate function. My son had a Defender some years ago with a lead acidic battery under the drivers seat. Can’t recall if it also had another in the engine compartment too.There are 1,000s of premium SUVs with an AGM battery in the passenger compartment under the passenger seat, eg VW Touareg, Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne.
But caravans don't "need" an AGM battery, a EFB works quite adequately.
The 5 litre diesels have twin batteries and separate various functions but the "smaller" engined models just have a single internal AGM battery covering all functions, including stop-start.Are the AGM batteries in “ premium” vehicles starting, stop-start or do they fulfil a separate function.

I would not say , it's pointless, As if it is an AGM then there are no acid levels to check , and removal of my side fitted battery is a Pain in the bum.Then AGM is pointless. It is perfectly ok, but pointless.
Not many people have to check battery levels on modern lead acid cells. Even my Banner which wasn’t “ sealed” was only checked twice a year and had not required a top up in two years.I would not say , it's pointless, As if it is an AGM then there are no acid levels to check , and removal of my side fitted battery is a Pain in the bum.
