AGM Technology

Absorbed Glass Mat Batteries

Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) batteries are a type of lead-acid battery that has grown in popularity due to their unique design and several benefits. The electrolyte of an AGM battery is absorbed into a fiberglass mat, hence the name. When compared to traditional flooded lead-acid batteries, this design has significant advantages. For starters, AGM batteries do not require maintenance because they do not require the addition of water or electrolyte checks. Second, they are very vibration resistant and may be placed in any position, making them suited for a wide range of applications. Finally, AGM batteries have a low self-discharge rate, which means they keep their charge for extended periods of time when not in use.

One of the key advantages of AGM batteries is their capacity to deliver large currents for short periods of time. Because of this, they are useful for beginning applications, such as in cars or naval equipment. Because AGM batteries have minimal internal resistance, they can deliver the necessary power to start engines without causing large voltage drops. Furthermore, their spill- and leak-proof design provides safety and dependability even in harsh operating situations.

Another important aspect of AGM batteries is their capacity to do deep cycling. AGM batteries, as opposed to ordinary flooded lead-acid batteries, can withstand deep discharges and recover more quickly. As a result, they are well-suited for applications requiring regular cycling, such as renewable energy systems, electric vehicles, and recreational vehicles. AGM batteries can withstand numerous charge-discharge cycles while retaining capacity and performance over time.
