AGM batteries need only be marked "Non Spillable Batteries" and there is no limit. I for on encourage attempts at battery reviving, reason is, most AGM batteries do not produce sediment, and with the proper digital charger, most will come back after a few cycles to about 80% original capacity so long as they aren't cracked and they haven't been dropped.
I just yesterday called the Post Office about this as I have a box full of laptop Li-On batteries I was going to ship. The PO's regulation has changed. Batteries must be installed in the device they were intended to be used. Batteries can no longer be shipped separately, in any quantity.
