Is it an AGM battery?

[nickb]

My 2007 QP has a FIAMM battery. Like many others here I use a CTEK 5.0 charger/tender which offers different settings for AGM batteries. How do I tell if the battery is AGM?

There are no visible stickers (at least without removing it) but it appears to have access screws to each cell which is indicative of a normal wet cell lead battery. I understand that using the wrong charging cycle can damage AGM batteries so I wanted to be sure. Does anyone know the answer?

Please don't take my word on this as I don't have the definitive answer but if you look at the official Maserati charger, it is a low spec CTEK which suggests to me that the battery is a normal wet cell type.

If it has screws to each cell, i would have thought it to be a wet cell battery personally.
However googling a picture of a AGM some appear to have screws, so I am no help whatsoever!

AGM batteries are generally for cars with stop start tech (because they are deep cycle), wet cells don't enjoy constant starting. It's a fair bet yours is a wet cell, all of the replacements are that type.
