12v battery

Does anybody know whether the 12v battery is agm or standard. I had my 12v replaced again due to me working from home It'd died again. This is my second battery in the last year replaced by warranty. I am thinking about getting a trickle charger the solar one I was using guess wasn't working. Thanks in advance!9(

Go to the video in YouTube to view the comments - according to this mechanic's reply, it's a lead acid battery and not AGM.

We leave my wife's car in the apartment building's garage for 4 to 5 months each winter. There are no connections for a trickle charger in the garage. The dealers salesman said to undo the negative connection while we are gone and battery should be ok when we return. Do you agree?
