1) What is meant by the term "Flooded" Battery?

2) Why do all the car audio dealership tell me not to mix car battery companies. they make it seem like its so bad, and it can create many problems, but i see alot of people doing it on here all the time.

ex: and optima upfront and a kinetik in the back

1) Flooded is your average lead acid battery.

2) You can mix different battery companies as long as the batteries are the same type. For instance don't mix a flooded die hard with an AGM Powermaster.

IMO I like to keep the same type of battery (brand and size) because it looks better!!!

+1. Most AGM batteries will rest at close to the same voltage. Powermaster has the highest resting voltage that I've seen, but only by a couple tenths.

Flooded means that is is filled with electrolyte suspended in water. AGM means that the electrolyte is suspended in a silicate jelly, then soaked in fiberglass mats.

Don't waste your time with Flooded batteries, AGM's are so common nowa days, and they perform so much better.
