[QUOTE="AnthonyMartello, post: 7883699, member: 644490"] Hello Community, AGM stands for absorption glass mat, so named because these batteries are made up of mats in which thin glass fibres are woven to increase the surface area. This allows the AGM battery to work like the flooded lead acid battery with the exception that the electrolyte in the AGM battery does not freely flood the plates, but rather is held in the glass mats. The thin glass fibres do not absorb the electrolyte nor are they affected by the acidic electrolyte, but simply hold the electrolyte preventing it from spilling when the battery is tipped over. Although the AGM battery is built in a rectangular case that meets BCI battery codes the plates themselves can be just about any shape including flat, cupped or wound. No longer just for use by the military, AGM batteries can be found as starter batteries, marine batteries and deep cycle batteries. There are several advantages to an AGM battery. They are as follows. 1. An AGM battery never needs watering. It is considered to be maintenance free. This makes these batteries ideal to use in situations where getting hold of water to water a battery may be an issue. 2. AGM batteries don't give off any gas when being charged so there is less worry about having the right ventilation when charging an AGM battery. 3. AGM batteries can withstand very low temperatures without freezing or cracking. 4. AGM Batteries are highly vibration resistant due to their sandwich construction, making them the ideal battery to use in circumstances where vibration could otherwise be an issue.
