[QUOTE="adulbrich, post: 8505806, member: 661255"] I see your point on this. Gel cell batteries don't like quick charging or discharging. They're not ideal for car audio, yes. How much power are you running? If it's not a huge amount and the batteries won't be stressed discharging a ton, I'd run them because they're free. If your alternator can't keep up, yeah you'll need something better suited. Even AGM's are technically "wet cell" batteries though. Standard lead acid vented batteries shouldn't be used inside the vehicle because they vent gas Gel cell batteries are sealed like AGM's, so they won't pose a threat. It annoys me that my boss thinks AGM and gel cell batteries are the same. The owner of the shop tells customers that there's gel inside the AGM batteries we sell. I've told him numerous times that it's fiberglass mat inside the batteries with the electrolyte, but he refuses to listen to reason. [/QUOTE]
