Can anyone tell me what setting I should set my CTEK charger to for charging this battery. I’m guessing my battery isn’t an AGM.

Just the Car icon on.

Disagree, you should have a AGM battery so AGM icon and car icon both on together  2003 BMW M5 - 5 Litres of V8 Optimax Slurping Goodness in Carbon Black

I assumed as my battery has screw caps that it was a wet battery, is that not the case?

I’m thinking my battery is goosed as it is now 7 years old and won’t turn the engine over. I’ve got it on charge now and will see how it is in the A.M. if it crap, I’ll probably buy a replacement. I think the car deserves a late Christmas pressie. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

Does it say AGM on the battery? 2003 BMW M5 - 5 Litres of V8 Optimax Slurping Goodness in Carbon Black

That battery looks like there are the plastic stoppers in it for topping up. It is not AGM. As Andy says only car icon. Its worth trying the Recon setting if you are thinking of getting a new one. Nothing lost, nothing gained

No mention of AGM anywhere. I charged it over night on car and recon, this morning (12 hours later) I checked and it was on no. 6 recon. Then an hour later it was back down to no. 4 so I tried starting it and it was fine. If it starts playing up again I’m getting a new battery. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

it really should get to the green light near the end. (one before last)

Maybe you opened the doors to drop it back down to 4.
