AGM batteries are proof that all batteries are not created equal. If you haven’t taken advantage of Absorbent Glass Mat battery (AGM) technology yet, you could be missing out on a supercharged battery opportunity. Perhaps you never heard about this advanced lead-acid battery before. Read on to learn all about AGM batteries and what makes them so special. 

ADVANTAGES OF AGM BATTERIES

GPS, heated seats, audio systems—today’s vehicles have major power demands. Do you have a battery that can take on those extra electrical tasks? 

One of the best benefits of AGM batteries is product life. Compared with traditional flooded lead-acid batteries, the AGM battery type lasts twice as long. When it comes to performance, the AGM battery enjoys improved recharge capability, as well as provides better starts and more power per cycle.  

If you are looking for greater reliability and longer life from your batteries, pick these power cells. Here are just some of the many benefits of using AGM batteries. 

·         Long shelf life

·         Maintenance-free

·         Resistant to vibration 

·         Leak-proof

·         Lighter than flooded lead-acid batteries

·         Improved cycling performance

·         Performs great in cold weather

·         Low self-discharge

·         Charges five times faster than flooded types

Bottom line? When you want more from your vehicle’s battery, AGM batteries are hard to beat. 

THE PRACTICAL CHOICE FOR START-STOP VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY 

AGM batteries by brands like Rolls Batteries are a great choice for high-end, fuel-efficient automobiles and start-stop vehicles. Rapidly gaining in popularity, start-stop technology automatically turns off the engine when your vehicle stops, restarting it again when the brake or clutch is released. 

With a high number of starts, vehicles will need an advanced automotive battery that can deliver ultimate performance. With superior cycling capacity and charge acceptance, an AGM battery is the go-to option for start-stop vehicle technology. 

GIVE AGM BATTERIES A TRY

Advances in battery technology have paved the way for better products for a wide range of applications. If you are in the market for something with more pep than a traditional wet, gel, or flooded battery, give AGM batteries a try. They come with a higher price tag than their flooded counterparts, but it will be well worth the extra costs with all the design and performance benefits you can expect.

An AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) battery is a type of lead-acid battery where the electrolyte is absorbed into fiberglass mats, providing advantages in terms of maintenance, vibration resistance, and deep cycling capabilities.

How to charge AGM battery?

To charge an AGM battery, use a compatible charger designed for AGM batteries and follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding voltage settings and charging duration.

Can you bring an AGM battery back to life?

While it's challenging, you can attempt to revive an AGM battery using specialized de-sulfation chargers or by carefully applying low voltage pulses, but success isn't guaranteed.

What is AGM on a battery?

"AGM" on a battery stands for Absorbent Glass Mat, referring to the technology used in the battery's construction.

Are AGM batteries worth it?

AGM batteries are often worth the investment due to their durability, reliability, and superior performance in various applications.

Are AGM batteries better in cold weather?

AGM batteries perform well in cold weather conditions due to their low internal resistance and ability to deliver high currents.

Are car batteries standard or AGM?

Car batteries can be either standard flooded lead-acid batteries or AGM batteries, depending on the vehicle's specifications and requirements.

Can AGM batteries freeze?

Yes, AGM batteries can freeze if not properly maintained or charged, but they are generally more resistant to freezing compared to flooded lead-acid batteries.

Do AGM batteries need to be vented?

AGM batteries are sealed and typically do not require venting under normal operating conditions.

How long do AGM batteries last?

AGM batteries can last anywhere from 4 to 10 years, depending on usage, maintenance, and environmental factors.

Are AGM batteries deep cycle?

AGM batteries can be deep cycle, offering the ability to discharge and recharge repeatedly without significant loss of capacity or performance.
