AGM battery

There are many different types of AGM batteries on the market. But how do you know which AGM battery is right for you? AGM stands for '' Absorbed Glass Mat ''. This means that the battery acid is contained in glass fiber that is placed between a number of lead plates in the battery. At the same time, this is also the big difference with lead batteries. The battery acid is loose in the battery. The different types of AGM batteries have their own specific properties. There are small AGM batteries that are used for small actions, such as in toys, but also large AGM batteries that offer a lot more power.

What is an AGM battery?

AGM batteries use a new technology. The base is still based on a reaction that takes place between lead and acid. So there are still lead plates in the battery. Battery acid is also still in the battery. The difference is that the acid is no longer 'loose' in the battery. There is a separation between the lead plates in AGM batteries. These separators are made of Absorbed Glass Matt, which absorbs the acid. As a result, the acid is no longer loose in the battery, so that it does not leak quickly.

Benefits of an AGM battery

A major advantage of the AGM battery is that this battery does not necessarily have to remain upright. With lead batteries, the lead is loose in the battery, so it must always be straight. If this is not the case, the battery acid may leak. So if you want to use the battery while you are mobile, you have to make sure that it does not leak. The AGM battery, on the other hand, can be mounted in any way, except upside down. This makes the AGM battery a lot friendlier for on the go. In addition, an AGM battery usually lasts longer, they require relatively little maintenance and there is relatively little self-discharge.

Charging an AGM battery

It is often thought that it is better to only charge a battery when the battery is almost empty. This is not the case with an AGM battery and other batteries. Are you done using it? Charge the AGM battery then recharge it as soon as possible. It can be harmful to a battery if it falls below a certain energy level. Avoid this by charging in time.
