This link / thread https://www.turbodieselregister.com/threads/battery-saving-mode.257292/#post-2494438 gives me the idea they are indeed AGM......

Okay, its settled OEM is AGM AGM's from Costco when the time comes . This was a lot easier then whats best thru the top ,or thru the fender

Neither of those any longer apply to me, as I can R & R straight from the bottom on my 2018 4500 Cab & Chassis....just like the 2007.5 through 2012 6.7L’s. So there.....

Well, thats close to where I remove mine. This is also settled then , from the bottom is best

Don't misinterpret a sealed non serviceable battery as an AGM.

I agree, but no one REALLY seems to know WHAT the OEM's are . When you google a replacement for our trucks, whether it be Costco or whomever ,AGM pops up as a replacement .

It would be fairly easy for every Gen4 Owner to find out - take it out, tip it over, if you hear it splash it is a LA Battery- if you hear and feel nothing it is AGM with FA.

I guess you can’t read. I said my batteries were flooded. How much will you pay me to go out behind the shed, pry off the vent once more and take a picture?

Fight nicely people. My 2012 has reg wet cell batts. My 2013 has AMG's that have now all but given up the fight. Last two days (it was 15 here in Ny) she cranked really slow and set off a bunch of check this and check that codes and messages. Just ordered a set of Deka AMG batts from Rock Auto they beat everyone by almost $50 on price. I hope they get here before the next cold snap....

Sorry I offended you, still seems like there is some confusion, maybe its just on my part. I will replace with AGM's, then there won't be any confusion on my part whats in MY truck

I didn't think there was a fight, but it seems one was offended .

I will have to check out Rock Auto. I thought 143.99 ea. was a pretty good price for the Interstate AGM's at Costco. My OEM as said are going on 5 years, and still going strong, although this winter may get them .

How do you know they your 13 has agm batteries?

I better be careful then, hate to lose that reputation . Seriously , its funny that it seems all the replacement batteries I looked at were AGM, yet some say we have a standard no maintenance battery, not that it matters on the trucks, but charging them on a charger , it has to have a AGM mode to be charged .

So say for some reason I had to charge my batteries ,and they were AGM, then I would need a charger that has the AGM mode, and some charger do not have that mode. So it would be nice to know what actual batteries we do have .

Are you sure they are AGM at that price? https://costco.interstatebatteries....1&choice4=1175182&choice5=1175183&Country=US#

For sure not - the specs state WET.

For some reason I thought they were AGM, sure doesn't look like it . I looked at them at the store, and thought they were .
Thanks for clearing that up .

I checked out Rock Auto, prices not too bad , the shipping kind of gets you, it was $50 for a pair to ship to me. Sams Club has a decent price, and they are definitely AGM's for $179.48 ea.
