good point Paddi. I would question who put the battery in, why they chose the spec they did? if it was under warranty then were they going cheap on you? the s3 is for smaller economy cars, from what i've read. Recently bought a 2007 RRS HSE TDV6 for a Pimp-My-Ride-Project.

The difference is usually the internal resistance of the battery. It varies between battery types and manufacturers.

AGM is 'adsorbed glass mat'. Same chemistry as a convential lead acid type just a superior internal structure which confers performance benefits. I'm sure if you Google AGM battery there will be much better descriptions than I could provide. 2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE

The battery died on our TDV8 in March, got a gen replacement from main dealer, it was 850A, carn't remember the AH without looking but it was less than the old one. L/R had just changed there supplier to Exide so must think there a better performing battery, never had any trouble starting and it's not driven every day either. 2008 G4 RRSport TDV8 current
