Er, ah, what kind of batteries do you have that AREN'T "wetcells"?

Gelcells are wetcells....So are AGMs....In the first the acid is jelly. In
the second, the acid is simply absorbed by a gauze-like glass mat in
between the rolled up lead plates.

They're still all lead-acid batteries and will STILL ALL EXPLODE!

Wait until you see a big AGM battery that has an internal short and turns
all that mat into steam!....BOOM! There's nothing holding the plates apart
in an AGM battery.....for all that money....
