I was mostly interested in the AGM as it is maintenance free and won't spill if tipped over. The battery in my ERA is under the right front fender. You have to take the valve cover off to remove or install it. For installing it, the battery slips in at an angle and finally gets in place on its side. Then you rotate it upright. Checking the water level of at least 3 of the cells is difficult too. So the issues are similar to Karl's.

As I can no longer find the proper 24F7 battery with the hold-down side tabs, I'm free to choose something else, so I was investigating the AGM batteries but research showed some issues, so I thought I'd ask here.
