For clarity's sake, AGM is still a Sealed Lead Acid battery. The chemistry is exactly the same. The construction is only subtly different. The alternative term you're looking for is "flooded battery". Those are the "traditional" ones where the electrolyte (acid) solution can move about freely in the space not occupied by the plates.
In an AGM, there is a fiberglass mat inserted between the plates that holds the electrolyte in place.

Almost every hybrid. Might have something to do with the battery being in the cabin (well, trunk)
Some sort of LSVR config.

That's a serious machine, that's for sure.

I don't remember exactly what it is called, but the military uses them to transport huge metal containers full of cargo.

I stopped by Mercedes on my way to the carwash today and had a walk around, they have nice inventory again finally.
I really do think this eventually is what I will get to replace the Pacfica:
They had two of these Maybach GLS's in this two tone white and silver, kinda odd:
Did love the white Manufaktur interior, full leather including the headliner, a $12,000 option!
Nice little diversion.

I love the blue lane dividers on the garage floor.

That takes too much effort lol
The garage floor is one of my next projects. The listing agent used a grey floor paint on the garage when she listed it (I do that too) to make it look nice, but that doesn't hold up in a garage and I've got paint flaking all over the place. Thats actually why that mat is there, just to be able to scuff off the flakes of grey paint vs tracking them into the car. I have to figure out if I want to do an epoxy floor or something like swisstrax flooring...
