The AGMs are the battery of choice on some of Mercury Marines new engines and a requirement on some like the Verado I would guess if the rectifier was not regulated it could be an issue but generally the ignition usage on battery ignition and accessories makes it rare problem on Mercurys and not dicussed in training as an instructor for Mercury Marine from 2006 to2012. In the seventies when mantainence free batts were introduced it was considered an issue when people had nothing but lites to drain the the battery But I never heard any problems and the sealed battery became the standard
