Came across a battery article by SgCarMart. It explains well the different types of battery in the market today. Normal Maintenance Free vs AGM vs EFB type.
Have a read guys!

Got coupon code too!
Some concept is wrong example: AGMs and EFBs have thicker internal plates than maintenance-free.
This means better is good for higher discard current. But not necessary means longer battery life.
Thinker plate means lower internal resistance and higher discharge current capability. As it is thick, it can build up chemical deposited quicker too and life spam may be shorter.
Come to the end is always use the recommended capacity and model designed for your car. Especially now a day, many cars has smart charging electronics build in. These circuit is design and tuned to specific capacity type.
