Can anyone advise please as to whether a 2014 sd4 auto should have an agm battery or standard lead acid type. Need to replace and garage want to fit agm battery as supplier says this is correct, but car doesn't have start stop fitted. I can't find an answer either way. Any ideas gratefully received.

If no stop-start fitted then a standard “wet” lead acid battery is the normal fitment…….the supplier should know this…….
À AGM battery can be fitted….it’s a lot more expensive…….. FL2 SD4 HSE Lux Auto MY 2012— current
D2 TD5 HSE Man MY 1999 470kmls….gone 2014 ….lovely engine..chassis rotten
D1 300TDI Man MY 1996 56kmls….gone 1999…D2 much better
Wife’s FL1 1.8P MY 2001 32kmls …gone 2007…has Mini since.

Replaced mine last month.
5 year warranty with a Yuassa from Halfords, £86 with trade card.
Again Sd4, no need for an AGM battery.

These things apparently come in 3s, caravan battery replaced in March, my classic Mini this month 🙄 Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Though the AGM one is more expensive but will probably last longer. When I replaced my AGM battery it was the original one nearly eight yrs old was still starting OK but decided to replace it as winter was coming and did not wan't to risk it. 2013 FL2 XS.

My Advice is to go normal lead acid, BUT fit the largest you can get in the tray.

See Nodge68 Post in this thread
He advises 85AH Yuasa HSB110

I used Halfords fit at home service.

Thankyou, apparently all the suppliers said agm, but the spec of the vehicle says no start stop and should be lead acid, so a big lead acid battery going in. Dont think it will help with my intermittent limp mode issue, but it cant make things any worse.

A quick follow up on this, new battery fitted at the garage today, a yuasa 5000 series, physically bigger than the previous one, but fitted perfectly. Prior to doing this the garage ran a scan on their autel maxisys and there were pages of fault codes logged across all the various modules, everything from air con issues upwards. He was of the view that the knackered battery may well be not helping the situation. He cleared them all so we can see what comes back in the coming days. Not sure if the battery needs coding in or not as the low battery warning was still coming up on the screen , though that may have disappeared now as it didnt appear earlier. Hopefully good news.

The Battery Monitoring measures/estimates what power goes in and out of the battery, it will sort itself out within the next few days, and Low Battery indications should disappear. FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)

What type was the old battery?did you not look? just because there is no stop start doesn't mean it doesn't need an agm battery.im not sure but it may have a regenerative charging system,like for example BMWs

Thanks for the replies, original was lead acid, so went same again. I think agm was more for manual with start stop.
