Absorbent Glass Mat lead-acid battery. Older-tech leisure battery. Lower cost and lower depth-of-discharge than LiFePO4, with shorter cycle life. Still used in budget builds and starter batteries. Largely replaced by LiFePO4 in leisure use post-2022. Specific DoD and cycle figures vary by manufacturer and are not published on the reference cited for this page.
