I don't think regular lead acid batteries would work. This is from the article:
AGM batteries can absorb more current than a regular car battery, which is why they can recharge faster. It takes time to charge regular batteries. They need slow, low-amp charging to prevent overheating — and they need more volts to push through their internal resistance.
AGM batteries don’t have nearly as much internal resistance, which is how they absorb 30, 40, even 50 amps at a time instead of a regular battery getting stressed out at more than 10 amps.
I took my boost batteries out to test and when I connected my regular charger, the one I always use, I discovered it puts out 16.5 volts!
No wonder my batteries have been failing prematurely.
