Advantages Of AGM Batteries

AGM batteries are more expensive than traditional flooded wet-cell batteries, but they offer a number of advantages. And with the emergence of regenerative braking, alternator decoupling and stop-start, AGM batteries have become a minimum replacement requirement for many newer vehicles.

This robot did a great job of explaining the advantages of AGM batteries.

And they taste much better than the lead acid batteries

My favorite feature of AGM batteries is that there is no white gunk corrosion forming on the terminals

Great video and explanation. I am going to buy a AGM battery if my 2001 BMW 530i battery ever fails. I am using a PulseTech PowerPulse passive battery desulfator on it to keep it working longer, Pulse Tech states that there patented frequency used to desulfate a battery can extend battery life by up to three times.

Have an AGM in my car, dealership told me it was completely dead after 3 years, that I needed a new one. Nope, nothing wrong with it. They should last 6-10 years

[SuperJay]

My old battery was leaking acid. I spent a lil more to get the AGM battery this time

[DoyleShadduck]

My 2010 Ford F-150 came with a Motorcraft AGM that lasted 11.5 years. Show me any standard lead acid battery that has that kind of longevity.

I thought you never need to replenish fluid in AGM batteries but I watched some youtubers revived dead AGM batteries by topping off dry cells with distill water. So what is the truth? My 6 year old AGM battery has lost 50% of its capacity cus it was ran flat last year but after the jump start, the battery can still start the engine but the stop/start wouldn't work due to it's low charge.

It's too bad that 😕, none of the car companies provide the proper charging profile for an AGM battery. This does affect both the performance and longevity of your "now" more expensive AGM car battery. 😢

[HiFiInsider]

my car did not come with AGM. is it worth upgrading to AGM?

At the empty can be recharged correctly? I had a bad experience w/a AGM battery from Canadian Tire after one year of use but my chance was that I receved other battery under warranty. 5 years under warranty. Good deal. The new battery has 12.7v before to be installed on the car. The battery is w/gel inside. The AGM name is bizare for this type of battery. The history of the known standarde batteries passe to the...history.

Yeah !!! I Use All AGM Batteries 🔋 in my Portable StarGate 😉

AGM batteries are not suitable replacements for vehicles that originally came with flooded lead acid batteries. Your vehicle's alternator will undervolt your new AGM battery thinking it still has the FLA battery. AGM batteries require at least 14.2 to 14.8 volts.

Can you answer why a special charger is needed to charge AGM batteries even though they are charged in car by the same source that charges all types of batteries without issue? So why is a special charger needed?

[leoseries]

If AGM is the minimum type battery for stop start, regenerative braking systems why did my my car manufacturer fit and specify an EFB battery for my car?

[ryannewnham]

Is a Agm battery good for high powered amp

[reginaldjdavis]

Is a agm battery better than a die hard battery as far running a sound system with 4000watt subwoofers

[ronaldoquintos]

HEV/PHEV/EV vehicle require at least AGM for their 12 volts battery if not Lithium. Lead acid can cause DTC or worse cause malfunction.

[noahriding]

Do AGM batteries have slightly higher voltage than similar batteries of same voltage ranges?

[gerrylittle]

I'm offgrid totally with 500watts of solar the dealer I dealer 2 discovery atm batteries reconditioned for 75 each I was going to buy 2 trogan t105 for $320 do you think it would be wise to get the trogan new or the reconditioned agm I need some advice?
