Having not used my 2019 AT for a while, when I went to start it today the battery was not up to it so I jumped it. When I got back I put it on charge using my lithium battery charger but got lights on to say battery may be defective. I took the battery out and found it was not the recommended HY110 lithium, but a Yuasa YTZ7S.
I am not going to pay £500+ for the "correct" battery, so the question is, is it ok to use an AGM battery or will it bugger something up?
Yes I know it seems to have been ok so far and that other makes of lithium battery are cheaper but I would prefer to use AGM if it wont harm anything.
I understand Lithium's are lighter, don't discharge as quickly etc. etc. but I have heard of too many Lithium batteries catching fire and they are silly expensive. Also the weight increase of AGM is less than a bit of fuel in the tank or eating lunch!
