DEEP CYCLE BATTERIES
- AGM TECHNOLOGY -
Arguably the use of an AGM battery is the best choice for an installation in the Caravan, camping and off-road industry. It is, of course, personal preference of what type of battery an individual decides to fit to their caravan, motor home or camper trailer; however it is in the opinion of “Home of 12 Volt” that the technology offered by an AGM battery is the best suited in the circumstances encountered in our industry.
AGM stand for “absorbed glass matt”. A basic explanation of an AGM cell is this: The cell is divided into 6 separate 2 volt cells, linked together to produce a 12 volt battery. Each 2 volt cell is divided using heavy duty ABS plastic. Within each 2 volt cell there are lead plates which are again separated using “glass matt” sponges; these glass matt sponges absorb the sulphuric acid (hence the name absorbed glass matt). Essentially this means that the battery is a “bonded design”, strengthening the battery for use on corrugated roads or rough terrain.
All batteries release gasses when under charge, however; AGM batteries are VRLA (Valve-regulated lead-acid battery), this means that instead of releasing gasses into the air when charging, the battery will instead open “valves” between each cell and transfer gasses to the next cell). This essentially means that under normal charging conditions (with an approved and suitable charger) the battery will not release dangerous gases into the air.
In summary, the AGM battery is leak proof, maintenance free, heat resistant, vibration resistant and can be used on any side (even upside down)! An AGM cell will charge extremely fast and is designed to be constantly and continually discharged and recharged.
AGM Batteries have an excellent standby use for long term storage, making them the perfect choice for the off-road industry.
