Who's running an AGM battery in a weekend driver?

Ive run a lot of AGM's,primarily optima's. I sold a lot also when I was in the parts business. About ten years ago the optima batteries went to ****. They changed something. The red tops were absolute garbage. They came in junk from the warehouse. The yellow tops and blue tops seemed ok. I'e run a blue top marine for about seven years in my pickup. But anything that sits for long periods of time seems to kill an agm battery. If you stick a battery tender on it you are all right. For the last couple years anything that I have to put a battery in gets a normal old fashioned marine battery;. They last longer,work better and are cheaper.
I'm no longer a fan of AGM unless it is mounted in the vehicle compartment.
