The Outback Flexmax 80 is what I have been using for years with my 6 volt Lifeline AGM batteries. They work together perfect. Highly recommend this product!

Both the red and the blue did run 1/8 inch shorter than my factory brinkman flashlight battery 18650. But the spring connection in the negative end of flashlight took up the slack. If your negative end of what you are putting it in has a spring you shouldnt have problem. If it has a tab connection you can bend it forward slightly an be fine. Never hurts to try. They make these replacement batteries smaller for a reason. Little smaller fits all. Too big fits none. They will probably fit 90% of applications.

Waiting to hear back from Yuasa. I have 2 of these chargers. I recently changed one application from a lead-acid to an Absorbtion Glass Mat (AGM) battery type, which is the same generic type as your Optima. So it just occurred to me that I should get the official answer on this as well. For what its worth, I had a conversation this morning with a tech at Batteries Plus and was told this type of charger will work on AGM as well as Lead-Acid. From personal experience, because this is a trickle charger, it may take a number of days to fully charge a discharged large capacity battery such as yours. Waiting to hear back from Yuasa.

Yes you can. AGM batteries don't contain any free roaming fluids like a lead acid battery and they have minimal venting so you can use them inside. If your going to use this battery enclosed make sure you have at least some venting to avoid the possible build up of explosive hydrogen gas. They are also military spec so they hold up to the elements very well. After 2 years of 90 Summers and -10 Winters outside they still look and funfunction like new.!

No. Unfortunately, batteries are proprietary for each manufacturer It would be nice if they weren't, but batteries aren't interchangeable between different makers.

This does not work perfectly with the Hyperion extended battery. However, it works great with the 4000 mAh Gorilla Battery!

You can use all of this same style 18 V , that is one of the great things DeWalt hs done. This is one of the main reasons I bought DeWalt. Just cannot use the Max style batteries, as they attach completely differently.

As far as I know the 2 amp G-max and 4 amp G-max batteries are interchangeable, but your owner's manual should indicate such. The 4 amp should last twice as long as the 2 amp G-max battery.

Not that I am aware of. I have always used my 120vac Dremel. The battery powered models do not have enough power ( torque ) to maintain the flex shaft.

Don't use a car battery, get an AGM battery. They are more expensive but worth it.

I do not think you should. There are specifics that you need to watch while charging AGM Batteries. You really should have a charger with a voltage meter so you can make sure you do not over charge and damage the battery.

No, not in my opinion. This unit will recondition and charge a very low AGM battery while most charger won't. Optima also offers a smaller trickle unit that will insure your AGM stays healthy assuming your AGM is in a vehicle that sits more than it's driven - or boat...

It can, but over time there will be problems. The AGM battery requires a different charging current and voltage, and temperature sensing. Check out the model, 2012 AGM which is an AGM only or the 12248 which is the Mac daddy and switchable for any type of battery.

I would assume that you could hook up two batteries in parallel (positive to positive and negative to negative) to maintain the same voltage but double the amp hours, but the better choice may be to just purchase a larger capacity battery in the first place. There are some very nice maintenance-free AGM batteries available on Amazon from Vmax. You could contact them for a recommendation.

AGM Batterys have the same charging specs as Lead Acid battery' (shttp://www.bdbatteries.com/mcharging_procedures.php) so no problem. The charge info is found here (http://www.progressivedyn.com/prod_details/rv_conv/rv_converter_pd9245c_2.html).

You should read the Battery specs. AGM batteries if charged at 12 volt DC only. NOT 12.5 to 14.5 or more, like most chargers. AGM's will take an Unlimited amp charge at 12 volts . Its the charging voltage thats critical with AGM's Check the spec's at Optima's website or any info about AGM's. I have the 1500 model and it charges at 12 volts only. Works fine on any battery AGM ATV's and big Sears Platium Odessy AGM's and brings back to life old trailer lead acid's.

Not sure as AGM is a brand I have tested deep cycle batteries with mine and had results as expected
