Switching to AGM or lithium?

[Themudfather]

Hey, I'm thinking of getting a new battery for my Kubota, and I'm stuck between AGM and lithium. Have you tried either of these? I'm trying to figure out how long they last, how well they work, and if there are any weird things about them I should know. What has been the best choice for you?

AGM batteries are a dependable and more affordable option at first, typically lasting around 3 to 5 years. On the other hand, lithium batteries come with a higher price tag but can last 8 to 10 years. They’re also lighter and handle cold starts better. For Kubota tractors, AGM batteries work just fine unless you're looking for weight reduction or need exceptional performance in cold weather.

yep, AGM is way cheaper upfront, but honestly, lithium (LiFePO4) is the better value. You'll replace three AGMs before the LiFePO4 kicks the bucket
