I posted this over on the tech section but thought maybe some of the good people on the "General" section might also have an opinion. Has anyone had any experience with the FVP brand of batteries? Specifically the AGM type. Attractive price and what reviews I can find seem pretty good. Any input would be appreciated TIA

To be completely honest, I've never heard of them. However, the really important things is that they are AGM. As long as they are AGM you know they won't leak or cause damage to your car. If they are a good price, you might as well give them a shot and see. Do you have a trickle charger?

Company (BX battery) owned by Hankook out of Korea. Apparently they want to get onto the US battery market. Google finds lots of info about them.

Never heard of FVP and their AGM battery. If you decide to go with them, hope you will post up details about the cost and eventually how well the battery performs.
