AGM Batteries


What are AGM Batteries?

AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) batteries are a type of sealed lead-acid battery. They use a fiberglass mat to hold the battery’s acid, making them spill-proof and maintenance-free. AGM batteries are known for their strong performance, ability to handle deep cycles, and resistance to vibration. This makes them ideal for cars, boats, and renewable energy systems. They also charge faster and work well in extreme temperatures. Since they’re sealed, AGM batteries don’t require regular maintenance, like adding water, and are safer for the environment.

FAQ

What is an AGM battery?

An AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) battery is a type of lead-acid battery where the electrolyte is absorbed into a glass mat separator between the battery's plates. This construction prevents the electrolyte from spilling, which makes AGM batteries more durable and safe compared to traditional flooded batteries.

What are the advantages of AGM batteries?

Spill-proof: The electrolyte is absorbed into the glass mats, so AGM batteries are leak-proof and safer for use in various applications.

Maintenance-free: AGM batteries do not require regular water topping like traditional flooded batteries.

Longer lifespan: They tend to last longer than regular flooded batteries due to their design and deeper cycle capabilities.

Higher power output: AGM batteries can provide higher currents than traditional flooded batteries, making them suitable for demanding applications.

Vibration resistance: AGM batteries are more resistant to vibration, making them ideal for use in vehicles and machinery.
