The AGM battery I bought from Advance Auto died last year after 3 years and it was on a Tender. I don't think they offer AGM batteries anymore. Funny thing is that is shows good voltage but fails the load test. Just to test, I put a smaller (and much cheaper) Yuasa battery in from my Honda 750 and it turned my Dyna SG over.
