I was about to purchase a Panasonic battery and wanted an AGM for my K100. One vendor had the LC-X1228P and described it as a Sealed Lead Acid Battery. Another vendor has the same model # Panasonic described as AGM.
Are they the same battery?
They are the same.
That's incorrect. A SLA Battery has LIQUID electrolyte like any older battery. It's just sealed and maintenance free. An AGM battery has the electrolyte absorbed in fiberglass matte, hence "Absorbed Glass Matte" battery.
But, I would call your "SLA" description a "maintenance free battery" anyway. But that would be incomplete if we didn't describe it as a wet, it might leak if you turn it over, battery. So that would be an SLA MFB IMLIYTIOB.
I guess...
Phew! And just when I thought I had lead acid, absorbed glass mat, and gel, all figured out.
