I need to replace a dead battery on a 2017 Sport, and I'd like to replace it with an AGM type. I think it came with the conventional flooded type battery (Motorcraft BXT-65-650):
- Can I safely replace a flooded type with AGM?
- If I replace with the AGM, do I need to take the Ex to the dealership for re-calibration? I've read that AGM batteries are pickier about how they are charged, so I don't know if the alternator has been calibrated for a flooded type, which might overcharge/damage an AGM or other electrical components.
