AGMs are actually worth the squeeze even on a car that doesn’t necessarily require one, they’re genuinely good-ass batteries. Expensive, though. But they’ll blow the pants off a lead acid in a stress test.
Also lots of cars have an option to toggle the auto-off. Not all of them though. And some will reset it every time you turn the car on and off.
That’s good to hear, this is my first one and had a bit of sticker shock replacing it yesterday. Yeah, my car does have the auto idle off switch but you have to toggle it every start-up to disable it. I dont mind it when I’m in the city stopped at lights but when its shutting off at each stop sign its super annoying.
I just did some searxng and there is some options, but all require modifying the car in one way or another. I think I’m going to go that route. Thanks for making me look :)

What’s your car make, model, and year? I just don’t believe that there’s no permanent disable and I volunteer to help you research a permanent toggle.
