        Have you checked with a Battery Retailer/Stockist?

          to be honest when i went to battery world i wasnt thinking about charging it up so didnt ask that question hence why i asked it here. he was less then helpful so i just wanted to leave. i am pretty sure its not AGM cause it has one of those glass eye things that change colour to indicate condition,green etc,and i didnt think the AGM batteries had them.
          cheers

            reviewing the VARTA website, I'd confidently declare that's not an AGM battery.

              It's a normal one.

              My R36 has the AGM one, it has AGM printed on the battery top.


              I am using the CTEK to maintain the battery in my R36 as I don't drive it often. I bought the MXS 7 ($147 from eBay) which has the AGM mode. The CTEK is definitely worth the money!

                It's a lead/acid battery. It says Pb on it. If it was an AGM battery it would be labelled.
