Help with determining battery type

[Kristi2k]

I need to know what kind of battery I have for my NOCO Genius 5 charger.

2012 Honda CRV with a Exide Global Extreme
2022 Toyota Tacoma (not sure what it is)

Is it:
Wet Cell, Gel Cell, Enhanced Flooded, Maintenance-Free and Calcium batteries

AGM?

Assuming it's not lithium.

What is the brand and model of the battery, oh wait let me guess...

Lot of newer cars have AGM, so the Tacoma might have that, your other one is probably a standard wet cell

Call your dealer, and get the parts department.

Yes, but everyone is also trying to save a buck. My money is on a traditional wet cell.

Typically it should say somewhere on the battery if it's gel or not. VRLA and AGM are other names they may go by. They are slightly different techs but basically would fall under Gel.

If there are caps on the battery that are easily removed then it's probably a wet cell. If you need more than light force to pry them open then don't try further, as even sealed types may have caps but those are not meant to be opened.

If it is in fact a wet cell then make sure to actually check it once in a while as you may need to add distilled water if you see the water level is low. If cared for, wet cells will last a very long time.

AFAIK AGM doesn't inherently mean gel. AGM just means absorbed glass mat and most are still lead plates and flooded.

Yeah they are different construction, but they are also sealed as far as I know. Ex: you can't add water to them.

Yes they are both sealed
