It's funny but I happen to be reading this on a desktop with an AGM (sealed lead acid in fiberglass) battery backup.

Congratulations, you are one of the less than 1 out of 10. AGM is great for stationary batteries, and has a place in vehicles but they will probably be replaced by lithium chemistry batteries in the coming decades as well as cost is coming down further.
