my '99 XJ has a diehard platinum AGM battery, I did recently do an alternator
and the new one is doing fine. I realize the AGM batteries require a different charging setting on a battery charger but the older XJ just charges and really has no way to discern a regular battery from this type. I just dont want to overheat or stress my alternator.
has anyone heard of or experienced an alternator failure as a result of
"new" style Absorbed Glass Mat battery ? I have read where newer cars that are factory AGM battery also have software added on to deal with the minor differences.
I'm not complaining, I look at it like a bonus as this is a new $250.00 battery that was in my XJ when I bought it last fall !
