AGM Battery - Worth Getting?

So i need a new battery for my 02 C32

My local supplier has advised me to get a AGM battery as they are designed for the modern vehicles with loads of computers etc etc.

ive never heard of them before...

he can supply me with a normal style battery aswell but said if it was his car he would go for the AGM one.

What you think?

I would recommend just buying the factory Mercedes battery from the dealer. They've been known to last 8 years.

Only get AGM battery. Not sure if you can get Interstate AGM battery but that's that I have for some time now without any issues. Mercedes and AMG electrical components are very sensitive. Don't try to go cheap on the battery. BTW, the OEM battery is also AGM.

I was thinking the Mercedes battery was AGM, but I couldn't remember for sure.
