[QUOTE="audiolife, post: 7393077, member: 541383"] High heat on any battery that is left in a sulfated state will over charge and swell. My kinetik is over 7 years old and works like a champ. When you leave a battery under charged the lead sulfate turns into more and more of an insulator until it crystalizes. When it crystalizes the battery is shot. When the battery is sulfated and left to be charged with your alternator it will not charge correctly and present a more contant large load on the alternator and will not charge very quickly if at all. This is why it is important to have a good charger or at least keep your agm battery resting between 12.7 to 12.9 volts. This is measured with the car off and waiting at least 3 hours (over night works really well). If your AGM battery can not keep a 12.7v state of charge you may need a larger alt or check your wiring.
