I�m curios if an AGM battery is bad for the stator style charge system? I�ve seen different reports on this. Some say to use led acid or you will burn up things. Others say AGM is fine.

I�ve got a 1996 Mercury EFI 150 so trying to find the proper battery. Thanks.

AGM is a lead acid battery.
The liquid is held in suspension by a material embedded between the plates.
There are few characteristics that are different between a common and there should be no problem with it.

Some of the best marine starting batteries are AGM. The Sears AGM that has been discontinued was for a time the best starting battery on the market.

Thanks for the info. Hope that charger is working out for you!

I was running a Duracell AGM from Sams but I saw some lower voltage readings than usual so took it back and found this one from oriellys which seems to be way more stout for less:

I just bought 2 group 31 batts from Sam�s for my trolling motor. Was thinking of getting another for crank
Batt but I like this one you posted and it is $54 cheaper.

The guy from oriellys said it�s made to start 18 wheelers

Used a cabellas AGM battery for years on a stator type motor. No problems was going for 5 years when I traded boat off. That is the only batteries I use. Just catch them on special The ones in my boat are 4 years old for trolling motor and starting . Also use them in my motor home. They go 6 to 7 years before start getting weaker.
