What is AGM Technology?
Originally developed in 1980 for military use, AGM is
a totally sealed (no caps, but vented for over-charge situation),
maintenance-free battery with the plates packed in micro-fibre
mat. AGM technology is the next step in the evolution of both starting
and deep cycle batteries for all of these applications. This ‘next
generation’ technology delivers increased safety, performance
and service life over all existing sealed batteries.
• Sealed and Maintenance-Free
• Fully compliant with Sealed Battery Requirements for ships, boats and yachts
• Excellent CCA
• Competitively Priced
• Guaranteed Longer Service Life than other Wet Cell and Gel Acid batteries
• Multi-Purpose Uses
• High Discharge Rate
• Long Shelf Life
• Fast Charging (up to 150 amps)
How does it
work?
As the electrolyte is captured within the micro-fibre
mat, there is a much lower resistance within the battery, allowing
a more efficient and faster reaction (acid migration) between the
hydrogen from the negative and oxygen from the positive plates.
This allows charge up to five times the rate of wet batteries.
Absorbed Power
market a large range
of innovative, high performance,
high quality, but very
competitively priced,
6 and 12 volt products.
Absorbed Power offer
2 distinct
ranges
of batteries to suit
differing
applications
and conditions:
The ‘C’ series
range of AGM Batteries
are designed specifically
to have a large amount
of stored current discharge
between charging sessions.
With a heavy non-porous
battery plate, a different
active chemical paste
material and a stronger
electrolyte than normal
batteries, the ‘C’ range
of batteries produce
superior performance
for high power output
and excellent deep
cycle applications.
The ‘AG’ range
of batteries uses the
advanced GEL design
which combines the
best features of AGM
and GEL construction
into one battery line.
The manufacturing processes
use pure formed silica
to create sulphuric
acid thixotropic gel,
which fill the battery.
The battery is vacuum
sealed to ensure full
penetration of the
electrolytic gel through
the separators and
the plates glass matts.
This range of batteries
are designed to meet
the requirements of
frequent cyclic and
high temperature application.
Remember when comparing
batteries
and battery products,
to compare
apples
verses apples. Batteries
are not all
the same
and comparing the price
of AGM verses
other
technology batteries
(flooded
wet cell, gel etc)
will not give
a true
indication of the exceptional
benefits
to be
gained from using AGM
technologies.
