AGM are also wet lead acid batteries....just in a different configuration. The 'vent' is not the same as in a flooded cell battery and is attached to a safety pressure valve that only opens under certain adverse conditions and not normally open to the atmosphere. I too would like to know what the "coding" accomplishes other than a trip to the dealer.
