But I heard that that kind of battery can't be recharged with a standard charger and you would only somehow cook it. Know anything about that? TIA.
Most modern chargers/maintainers have a specific profile for AGM batteries as they finish at a slightly higher voltage than a conventional flooded cell battery. Again, most modern chargers have "float" profiles built in to prevent overcharging, which was common with older, non-electronic chargers.
