AGM batteries were a speciality battery designed for things that roll over or tilt a lot.
Their life expectancy is less than GC2 batteries. Less abuse resistance. Cost more. Their advantage is less leakage and no maintenance. Good for the step in the motorhome or under the bed. Superior to car/marine batteries. Inferior to GC2 batteries for rv’s. Very popular in cars and trucks now. Cheaper.
Today there are lithium batteries in the same price range. Since they are much better, for rv’s kind of no choice.
When manufacturers added substantial demands for power on rv’s the lithium makes sense.
