AGM batteries stand for Absorbed Glass Mat batteries.  These are a type of lead-acid battery.  Unlike standard lead-acid batteries, AGM batteries do not need to be refilled regularly.  This is because the lead plates for the batteries are situated between saturated fiberglass mats.  Therefore, no water is lost during use.  They have a higher price point than standard flooded lead-acid batteries thanks to needing less maintenance, and generally having a slightly higher power output than lead-acid batteries.
