Bezerk, just calm down. Your whole attitude in ther first post in this thread made this morning was defensive and your comments uncalled for. Nobody told any mechanic he was full of shit. What was said is that's how he feels about what he was told. He never said that he told the machanic that.
As Art said, he wouldn't say that to anyone, mechanic or otherwise. No decent human being would. But everyone has his opinion about the quality of work or advice that they are paying for, and if good, will recommend that person. If bad, will also warn others about his bad experience.
You were not offering your experience when you went after Greg Moore about his comment. You instead acted like one whose primary interest was starting a monkey fight. I responded as I did partly because of that, and also because fo your comment about Suzuki not recommending AGM batteries.
Personally, I think you're wrong. I don't think you're full of shit, but unless you can scan and post a page from a Suzuki publication that says what you purport, I'm not believing what you've said.
Now it used to be, when AGM (or any other deep cycle type batteries) were a fairly new product that they were not recommended as a starting battery and not used in cars, either. They were not good at providing the high discharge amperage that was needed to start an internal combustion engine. But the technology has come a long way, and the AGMs are now used in autos, boats and light planes as start batteries. All I can surmise from your stated experience in the example you gave is that it was a bad battery. Not because it was of the AGM type, but merely because it was bad.
