I'm quite partial to a Double A. Nice size, good life expectancy, sensible price, readily available at the supermarket and used in a multitude of electric home ware items....
I've always used Bosch btw.  Monsieur Le Grenadier
I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list..... 2011 Puma 110DC - Corris Grey |

Have you tried reconditioning it with something like one of the more modern CTEK battery chargers?
If not I'd give it a go before writing off the battery completely. |

To be honest, supply for AM kit is really bad in France. Believe it or not you're as likely to buy oil or batteries etc in the Supermarket as your equivalent to Halfords (Roady). So I'm not sure if I could find an AGM battery even if I wanted one. So, for the moment, old school flooded.... Monsieur Le Grenadier

I'm no expert but use pc1500 for both starting and winching, as I say have been a brilliant battery.
