Need a new battery on my Clio, I've got a bigger, almost new AGM battery from a scrap car at work. Has anybody tried one with a normal charging system? Google says anything between No and Best Upgrade Ever so hard to tell.

i was intrigued to find out what's best practice with these too, often see some 096 or 019 units which would fit physically in my vehicles, but no idea if the older traditional charging systems would damage them.

I put one on my mates Volvo 850 as a temporary measure .
That was around 8 years ago & it’s still on doing fine .
The battery is off a V8 diesel Range Rover & the car is a 5 cyl petrol , so the battery is well over rated for the car . Not sure if that makes a difference ??

Got one on my 93 Talbot with no issues

It will come in handy even if you never use it

Might give it a go then, found another bigger lead acid battery that's working for now but still doesn't seem to have much storage capacity so probably on the way out too.

No issues at all. AGM behave in exactly the same way as a regular flooded battery. Won't harm the alternator or anything like that.
Have one on the Laurel I got out of a Skoda,
