I came across this article, "Automotive Battery 101", on the East Penn Canada web site. East Penn is one of North America's largest battery manufacturers and this is their Canadian operation's web site. It gives readily understandable descriptions of the difference between flooded, AGM and Gel as well as starting vs deep cycle (cycling) batteries. Also included are battery terminology, reasons for battery failure, reasons for power loss, etc. Check it out.
