The AGM battery in my Hyundai gave up after five years. Was quoted anywhere from $230 to $430 for a replacement. On a whim I called the service department at my Hyundai dealership and asked if I could use a regular battery. He said yes absolutely... so bought one for $150... and no problems. Don’t fall for the “you need an AGM only“ line.

True, they are still a little under par by some car's standards, but here in the UK you can get good deals on these cars and they are just about as capable as any similar mainstream manufacturer that is more popular. Hyundai and KIA have both improved quality a lot lately.
