Yes - AGM ,Flooded and Gel batteries use the lead acid chemistry and require the same charging voltages. Because of the extremely low internal resistance, AGM batteries can use a slightly higher absorption voltage for faster charging, but the results are the same. The valve regulated lead acid battery group (VRLA) includes flooded, gel and AGM types, so having no water fill ports does not make it a AGM battery. The major advantages of an AGM it will operate in any position and is a much more rugged design. The only disadvantage for an AGM is a slightly larger battery case for the same amp-h flooded battery. If you are cost conscious and only want the no water option, the VRLA flooded battery is 1/2 the price of the typical AGM.
