Good afternoon everyone here! I'm from Brazil!

I just bought a 2016 Challenger Hellcat A8 Black with 3.60 miles on it...

It still has the Battery that I believe to be original that I attached a photo here... Could someone tell me if it would be AGM or can I use my normal battery charger?

Dodge never sold this new car here in Brazil the few less than 50 Hellcat units from 2015-2022 are from independent importers... Where the car comes only 0 km (Brazil rules) or over 30 years old and is sold without warranties ...

The car is 100% original I have already seen that I can add the 7 quarts of oil and update the dipstick in the oil change which I will soon do too!

Google the part number & see what comes back.

If it doesn't say AGM on the battery somewhere, then it's not. Also, AGMs are more expensive so probably not what was installed at the factory.

Yes, you can use your charger.

When it's time, suggest going with a H8 AGM. You'll need the Police battery bracket.

I thought that was Charger only.

Yes, it will work. Look in the battery box. The current aluminum hold down for the H7 battery is ~ 3 inches long. The battery box is ~ 3 inches longer than the current battery.

If you want, take a pic of the rearward part of the battery box next to the Fuse Box for confirmation.
