Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) batteries represent a specific type of lead-acid battery, characterized by their construction where the electrolyte is absorbed into a fiberglass mat. Proper charging protocols are essential to maintain the battery’s performance and longevity. Deviations from recommended charging parameters can lead to premature failure.
Adhering to correct charging procedures ensures optimal battery life, reduces the risk of damage, and guarantees reliable vehicle operation. Historically, incorrect charging methods were a significant cause of AGM battery failures, underscoring the necessity of understanding the appropriate techniques. Regular, controlled charging prevents sulfation and capacity loss.
