I reject that there is a 'possible' causal relationship.

This mindset, often spoken on forums, of 'better safe that sorry' or 'why gamble' is nonsensical rationales: don't patch tires, just buy new; change oil every 2500 miles; DON'T change ATF ever; the list goes on.

I know the shop were this explosion purportedly due to not coding or not registering occurred. It was never confirmed other than this singular report despite a world filled with AGM battery replacements. Doncha think maybe the guy got a bad new battery?

Finally, the horror stories you read are non-AGM for lead acid, and vice-versa...and different size AGMs... people get so confused, the end result is "just bend over, go to the dealer, why gamble".
