[QUOTE="SPL15, post: 4651687, member: 594830"] It'll work, but I highly DO NOT recommend running and AGM cell with a regular wet cell. Wet cells usually sit at about 12.7 volts when fully charged, AGMS typically sit at about 12.8 volts or a bit higher when 100% charged. What this means to you is that the AGM will slowly discharge into your wet cell and the AGM wont stay fully charged when the car is off just sitting there. You wont run into problems starting your car, but AGM's will die quickly if not kept at a full charge. If the AGM is constantly only about 85 to 90 % charged due to discharge into the wet cell, you'll shorten its life span from sulafation build up. I run an odyseey 1500DT and a 2150 and voltage stays around 12.9 volts fully charged, if I were to hook up a wet cell that stayed at 12.7 charged, these batteries will quickly dishcarge with the car off to the 12.7 volts which is about 90% dishcharged for the AGM's. The quickest way to hurt AGM battery performance is to not keep them 100% charged on a continual basis. [/QUOTE]
