    What type is the standard battery in the VF Commodore... AGM or Calcium?

    My 2016 Redline’s original battery was on its way, hard to start at times. When reviewing the battery voltage on the instrument cluster it would never really drop below 14.5/14.7v. I have just replaced the original AC Delco with a Supercharge MF66H. Upon cold start start up, the voltage reads...
