[QUOTE="loopkiller, post: 5418713, member: 601690"] When you say "original" you mean a flooded battery? If so, you should not use a flooded battery and an AGM battery in the same circuit. Flooded batteries rest at a lower voltage than an AGM does. That will lead to the flooded battery draining the AGM. There are different types of AGM batteries. A red top is designed for starting a car. A yellow top is designed (poorly) to power other electronics. The reason I say poorly is because of the thin plates lead to shorter life spans. Deep cycling a thin plate battery is going to severly limit the lifespan of the battery. The less lead in the plate, the shorter the life. [/QUOTE]
