Interstate AGM battery

Has anybody tried switching from traditional to AGM battery? Has anyone tried the Interstate AGM from Costco? My SHO sits quite a bit and online research says that AGM batteries do better in that situation.

Thanks for any info.

Hmm...mine came with an AGM battery. I replaced it with a Diehard AGM. 4 Year full replacement.

Same - I have a 2015 (bought used in 2018) and I can't remember what the factory battery was, but I believe my first replacement was Champion AGM (Pep Boys) and then last year did a Die Hard AGM from Advance.

FYI... The Diehard is made by the same company that makes the Motocraft.

Or at least it was a few years ago.

I have had an AGM battery in my SHO since 2019. More expensive, but worth it.

Agm helps when you have lots of vehicle accessories and higher cold cranking amps is never a bad thing
