Wasn't Trojan part of the Century group once. ?
AGM's have come a long way these days but there used to be some horror stories on them failing early in boat house banks, plus the price differance between a T105 225ah FLA and a T105 217ah AGM is staggering, 225ah FLA i paid $250ea and the best price i could find for the 217ah AGM was $410ea!, i couldn't find any T105 225ah AGM's in Aus....

Am hoping next time around the price and availability is a bit more reasonable for the AGM Lol......

Not sure about the Trojan/Century connection but heres a little history on Trojan US.....
