Skyactive i-Stop engined cars - ALTERNATIVE BATTERIES.

If you've a trickle charger like the CTEK MXS 5.0, you should be fine. Sadly, I'm far from you guys. Good sir Egan has mentioned 1, perhaps Wh1stl3r can help, too?[emoji120]

For the EFB batteries in the CX5 gas (with i-stop), do we charge just in CAR mode alone, or with the AGM option too (CTEK MXS 5.0)? Clarifying this as I'm getting mixed feedback.

Thanks.
I got confused because a guy from MX5 forum said he was advised by CTEK sweden to charge in CAR with AGM option, for EFB batteries using start/stop... and I also read that AGM doesn't benefit from Recond, as they're dry gels.
