Charging Batteries in modern vehicles

[Passat R36]

this is what it looks like.i think normal lead acid. Varta 5ko 915 105 k.

Attachment 16579

It's a normal one.

My R36 has the AGM one, it has AGM printed on the battery top.
What's your R36 factory fitted battery?

I am using the CTEK to maintain the battery in my R36 as I don't drive it often. I bought the MXS 7 ($147 from eBay) which has the AGM mode. The CTEK is definitely worth the money!

no one knows the type of battery?

It's a lead/acid battery. It says Pb on it. If it was an AGM battery it would be labelled.
